Summary
Wide shot. For the edited version of this taping, see: *MGZIC 9-3354. One Slave, played by Luis Dominguez, was absent from taping due to last-minute injury. Six to eight supernumeraries, known as "Muscle Men," are also missing from tape since these positions are filled city by city rather than by company members. They enter with Shah Sharyar, and their positions and movements may be deduced by watching how and where the harem characters die in the slaughter scene.
