Movie Trivia:
- Opening credits say "This film is a true story. The screenplay is based on court testimony. Sworn Declarations. And hundreds of interviews conducted by the film-makers. / Some of the innocent characters' names have been changed in the interest of a larger truth. / No one involved in the crimes received any form of financial compensation."
-
The original choice for the lead role was Susan Sarandon, but her asking price was too high for such a low budget film.
-
The copyright holders of the song "Tomorrow," as heard when Mrs. Jenkins watches Annie (1982) in her living room, charged $60,000 for the rights to use the song because of the explicit content of John Waters' past films.
-
Columbia Pictures was originally going to make the film before it ended up at Savoy Pictures.
-
A poster of the band L7 can be seen in Chip's room, briefly, on the back of his bedroom door. L7 plays as the band Camel Lips in the movie.
