Before he joins in the film's raunchier scenes, Marcus is depicted as a quarterback tossing warmup passes near the western end zone. He told The Times he remembered the movie was shot on a cool night starting about 7.


"We were probably there until 11 p.m.," he said.

The movie's credits say it was produced on Sept. 16, 2001, a Sunday, during USC's football season.

The Trojans played at the Coliseum the weekend before and two weeks later.

Sitting in the warehouse-like office of his Van Nuys-based apparel company, Daddy Inc., Marcus recalled that a clearly marked Sheriff's Department helicopter startled the cast when it appeared overhead in mid-shoot. The whop-whop of a chopper's blades is heard in the movie.

Marcus said he remembered looking up and thinking: "There's going to be, like, this intercom saying, 'Hey, this is the … Sheriff's Department, you guys must cease.'

"But none of that came. They just circled, like they were trying to see what was going on."

Spokesmen for the Sheriff's Department and Los Angeles Police Department, which has jurisdiction over the Coliseum, said they had no information about any 2001 pornography shoot there.

Marcus said the fact that the filming continued after the helicopter left convinced him that Anabolic must have had an official go-ahead to use the stadium.

"Honestly, when I started to shoot there, I thought, 'How the hell did we pull this off? And does everyone know about it?'"

The performer had no apologies for people who might be angry that the movie may have tarnished the Coliseum.

"You can be mad all you want, but it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime types of opportunities," he said.
