Movie Trivia:
- The backdrop is the Saltair Amusement Park outside Salt Lake City.
-
The Saltair that appears in the film actually burned down in the early '70s. In the early '80s another version of Saltair was rebuilt, although it was a much smaller design. Shortly after it was built, the Great Salt Lake rose and flooded it out. In 1993, the building was remodeled and reopened, now it's mainly used as a small venue for musical acts.
-
Director Herk Harvey and writer John Clifford both waived their earnings in order to get the film made under the initially miniscule $17,000 budget.
-
Filmed in three weeks.
-
The damage to the bridge in the opening scene of the film cost Herk Harvey $17.
