Columbia Pictures would not issue him a ticket to The 69th Annual
Academy Awards (his biopic
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)) was up for two awards) because
executives were afraid Flynt would pull some kind of vulgar stunt and
embarrass them. He became angry and began railing against the studio
for allowing the film to be made but then censoring him in real life.
He also hired a private one-man airplane to circle the awards show with
the message "Columbia Pictures Sucks! - L. Flynt." At the very last
minute
Woody Harrelson (who played him in the film) gave him his agent's
ticket, but Flynt still had the plane circle the show.
