    Reception

    Rovi wrote that the film was "a dumb-but-hip instant cult favorite that knows - and revels in - its limitations."[3]

    Production

    Casting of the film was ongoing in May 1987 with Generic Films to begin shooting on June 5 as part of a four-picture contract with

    Empire Pictures.[4] Empire was ultimately displeased with the film delivered by Generic Films and the title was reassigned to a new film from director Anita Rosenberg that filmed in October 1987.[5]
