The opening "wet strip," in which Barb dances in a strip club with her breasts hanging out of her rubber dress, while being sprayed with water, was suggested by Pamela Anderson after she was inspired by a nightmare she had, in which she was being sprayed with champagne while performing a "nasty dance." David Hogan, who was under pressure to include more nudity, liked the idea, and threw out the movie's original opening to include it.
The original comic book ended its run shortly after the film's disappointing reception.
