Trivia
The clapper board for the movie within a movie shows the title of "Double Vision" with director "S. Ross", which is the correct name for Chick Vennera's character, director Stephen Ross. However the "camera" is shown as "A. Stevens", who of course is one of the lead actors in the movie and in the movie within a movie.

Goofs
Although it is clearly stated that the setting is Hollywood, California, in the latter half of the film, police officers wear uniforms that reveal "Mobile Police" as do their cars.

Quotes
Monica Martel: This is Hollywood, Eric. No one loves anyone. They just pretend to.

Terrific genre flick

Back in the early 90s, there was a whole genre of erotic thrillers that has disappeared now. This is a solid entry, featuring Andrew Stevens, who would go on to direct a number of this type of picture, as a Hollywood ne'er do well, living with ageing movie star, Sally Kirkland, about to make a comeback in a movie featuring Stevens. Rose is brought in as a body double as Kirkland's character would never strip for a film. Luckily, Kirkland herself has no such restriction, and gives us a lurid masturbation scene that is a highlight. The plot involves shady dealings, suspicious characters and gunplay, further complicated by a clever conceit of slipping in scenes from the movie within the movie, which appears to have a similar plot to the actual movie. The cast give it their all, to an incessant synth score and brightly colored costumes and sets. All in all, it's a fun ride.
