An earlier version of the above promotional clip in which Sloan — playing the part of Howard Hughes to the Jazz Bear’s Melvin Dumar — bequeaths his entire fortune to the furry fantasist, was scrapped after the Jazz failed to obtain clearance for somewhat gratuitous shots of a topless Mary Steenburgen. No harm in trying, though (video link swiped from The Basketball Jones)
Little known fact- the part of the Jazz Bear is played by Eric Roberts.
