Approximately 40 minutes into the movie, a computer is scrolling through a list of names in a phone book, in search of its next victim. The names listed are mostly Hollywood producers. Going through the list slowly reveals Caryn Mandabach (listed as "Caryn Mandab"), Wink Martindale, Lorne Michaels (of Saturday Night Live (1975)), Bill Melendez ("Charlie Brown" specials), Neal Marlens (Growing Pains (1985)), Thomas L. Miller (Full House (1987)) and a host of others. The name the computer is searching for is Terry Munroe, which (maybe by coincidence) happens to be the birth name of actor Stepin Fetchit.
Wil Horneff, Karen Allen, and Brandon Quintin Adams appeared in The Sandlot (1993), which also came out in the same year.
This film has some superficial plot similarities to Wes Craven's horror film 'Shocker' (1989). Whilst that film had a reasonably successful theatrical release (and a budget half the size of this movie) but then became a cult hit when it was released on video rental, this film was a flop. 20th Century Fox gave it a theatrical release in the U.S. towards the end of 1993 but it failed to get much notice and was released straight to video soon after in most countries.
Unusually for the time, this film featured a surprising amount of women in the production team including a female director and editors.
