The scene at the beach was different in the original script. Olga (Monique van de Ven) was to have used a German S.S. knife from home to make the sandwiches, revealing that her mother had gotten it during a relationship with an S.S. officer during World War II. However, when it was time to film the scene, they had forgotten to bring the knife. In his desperation to come up with a solution, director Paul Verhoeven remembered an anecdote from author Jan Wolkers (on whose book this movie was based) about how he once covered his wife from neck to toe under the sand. Verhoeven used this idea in the movie as well, and he liked the result far better than the original scene.
