Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot in Scarborough, Ontario over 1987-88 with equipment borrowed from a local cable station. The $35,000 budget mostly went to film stock.

Cultural

Amber Lynn's casting was a deliberate marketing hook — her entire mainstream film career consists of this and 'Evil Toons.' The 'Canuxploitation' label was retroactively applied by cult film historians documenting Canada's wild straight-to-video era.
