The video release of this film contains a few frames of nudity that did not appear in the theatrical release.
Tamra Davis started as director of this film, with a script written by Yolande Turner and Becky Johnston. A few weeks into filming, the production company became unhappy with the direction the film was taking. They shut down production, replaced Davis with Jonathan Kaplan, had the script rewritten and sent the four main actresses off to "cowboy camp" to learn how to shoot, rope and ride.
According to producer Lynda Obst, the original production design was essentially monochromatic, and the leading actresses had primary color costumes. During the brief halt in production and cast and crew replacements, a different production designer was hired and the costume and set concepts were retooled. One recurring problem in the original project was that the lead actresses were fighting over a red costume originally intended for Madeleine Stowe.
Drew Barrymore threatened to quit the production when original director Tamra Davis was fired. This was due to Davis being a friend of Barrymore's who had directed her in the film Guncrazy (1992).
The original plot line directed by Tamra Davis was filmed on the Back to the Future III set in Northern California.
