Adrienne Barbeau acted in this movie to pay her son's tuition fees.
The movie was heavily reworked prior to release by the distributor, Intercontinental Releasing Corporation. As they prepped for the reshoot, Tiffany Bolling was talked into taking a role by her husband, Richard Casares, the company's senior VP. In a 1991 interview she said her husband told her, "We gotta reshoot some of these scenes, they're awful, and we need to redo this movie, so will you be in it?" And she replied, "Well, can I say no?"
The radio-station scenes were shot at Los Angeles radio stations KRTH/KHJ - KEARTH 101.
Actor Darwyn Swalve passed away on May 5, 1999 from a heart attack. His wife passed away on the same day.
The film's writer was also the writer and director of the 1993 film "The Sandlot."
