Gadzooks, Imp-- The casting of this film... 
was a nightmare!
Clooney only came on board if Tyler got the Nordberg and played it in drag. Plus Geogre demanded Matt Damon play Ted Olson and have Ben Affleck in a cameo as his lab assistant.
Streep demanded no accent whatsoever for her character and that Johnny Depp play her son yet his film schedule/divorce-dating played havoc with getting his scenes filmed on time and budget. He originally wanted to play Rocco as a bald blonde, having never played one before, but he was convinced to use his own hair as he had never used it before either.
Scarlett Johansson agreed to the Tanya Peters role only if the 'Crying Game' joke was cut and all nudity be gratuitous.
Taylor Swift campaigned for the Jane role just because she has Daddy Issues and has always wanted to make out with a robot to be the basis for her new song "Lips of Metal Don't Leave Me Cold." Plus she wants to show off her beaver to gain fans in the PETA movement.
However, we did have some real troupers in the cast. Pia Zadora, James Earl Jones and Olympia Dukakis recreated their roles with the same verve and spirit as the originals--
"That's Phil Donabot... 
throwing up in a tuba."
"Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... 
iggggggggggggggggggggggggg!"
And, like in the original film, Pia... 
did her own stunts.
Me? All Abrahams, Zucker, and Zucker had to do was meet... 
my price.
