The script evolved from a planned but never-filmed short called "Feminist Warriors" (which was loosely based on the JonBenét Ramsey murder) and was slated to star Jean Smart, Cathy Moriarty and Suzanne Pleshette. The script underwent a massive rewrite and, in the end, only Smart stayed with the project.
As originally scripted, a tornado was to snatch up the Winnebago as Corinne and Loreli stood on the side of the road fighting. Due to budget constraints, the tornado was eliminated.
Filmed in 13 days.
The scene depicting Loreli's breakdown was shot over the course of 12 hours.
