| Strike! (1998) | aka All I Wanna Do. Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffmann, Lynn Redgrave "[Dunst] 0:26 - on roof with Gaby Hoffman. Holds cigarette throughout scene, takes a drag right at the end of the scene. 0:34 - Takes 2 short drags and quick exhales. 1:11 - Lights up. Closeup short drag and exhale. Long shot small drag. Doesn't look like a natural smoker." "[Hoffman] 0:03 Takes cigarette from pack and puts in mouth, goes to light it but it is taken from her. 0:26 - On roof with Kirsten Dunst. Long shot takes drag and exhales. Closeup drag and exhale. Takes another drag at end of scene "In a scene near the movie's end, Dunst accepts a cigarette from Lynn Redgrave's character. Redgrave lights the cigarette but we can't see Dunst drag on it. Then Dunst takes a very weak "inhale"...it was more like just bringing the cigarette to her lips. She holds the cigarette very clumsily." "1. Gaby puts a cigarette in her mouth, another girl takes it away. 2. Kirsten is passed a pack of cigarettes in the school cafeteria. 3. Kirsten and Gaby smoke together" "Hoffman's character is about to light up early on but the cigarette is snatched away before she gets a chance. Later, Hoffman and Dunst both smoke standing out on a rooftop - Hoffman looks IRL, Dunst doesn't. Dunst also smokes in an alleyway later on and finally her character (a schoolgirl) accepts a cigarette and a light from her school principal (Redgrave), but again, she is obviously not IRL. Redgrave eventually takes the cigarette back and has one drag." "Hoffman and Dunst play students at a girls' school in the early '60s. Hoffman has one IRL-looking scene, Dunst smokes three times but looks very awkward and is obviously not IRL, and in one later scene Redgrave (playing the headmistress) has one IRL drag." "Dunst smokes (unconvincingly) in three or four scenes. Hoffman dangles in one scene and demonstrates IRL technique in another."
