Chandra said she used to hate living in Los Angeles because it was "dirty, filthy and disgusting, and I thought traffic sucked." Then she flew to the Philippines to film this movie and saw that it was substantially worse in every way. After she returned to L.A., she never complained about it again.
The American cast and crew all contracted tropical illnesses while filming in the Philippines, including the director, who ended up losing 50 pounds.
Actress/singer Chandra's first role.
