Filmed in 1993 but not released in the United States until 1996.
Originally, Rachel McLish agreed to be fully nude for the meditation scene. But on the first day of filming, she changed her mind. After an argument with director Albert Pyun, she agreed to be topless in a thong, but wouldn't let them show her full breasts. Reportedly, this is one of the reasons why she wasn't cast for another role until 15 years later.
Albert Pyun said the producers took the film away from him because they didn't see eye to eye. The producers wanted a female version of Rambo, while Pyun wanted a more "mystical" character story with emotion and resonance. It's because of this that Pyun started his own company, Filmwerks, shortly after filming wrapped up.
Rachel McLish's first lead role and last role until 2011.
Because there is almost nothing available about the making of this film, Jason Elizondo, a writer for media site Robot Geek's Cult Cinema, reached out to Rachel McLish in 2018 with a request to do an in-depth interview about its production. She never responded.
