Sharon Stone is a highly proficient knife thrower. She uses her skills as a negotiating tactic. While talking to stuido executives she casually tosses knives at a target on the wall next to their heads. One executives turned the tables on her by waiting until she threw a knife and then drawing a gun and emptying it into a target that he had placed on the wall behind Ms. Stone. She found the episode hilarious and laughed so hard that she had to be sedated for respiratory distress.
