Julie Strain, Tina-Desiree Berg, and J.J. North in Bikini Hotel (1997)

Trivia

Bikini Hotel

Edit
Tina-Desiree Berg said that montage sequences of the women in the Hotel Lingerie hotel rooms were all played by her wearing different wigs and costumes.
Tina-Desiree Berg said that when she was at the Video Software Dealers Association Convention to promote this film, she looked down the long line of guys waiting to get the one sheet autographed and was surprised to see a lone woman. She said "It was very curious. When she got to the front of the table she presented me with her business card. She worked for Pay Per View and she wanted to know if we were making Bikini Hotel 2. I said that I was unaware, then asked her why she was asking. She said it was their highest grossing film the previous quarter. I was stunned. STUNNED! Really? Bikini Hotel?? Who knew?!"
During a 2018 interview, Tina-Desiree Berg said everyone had a lot of fun making this movie. We had a great time shooting the movie, so the long hours on the set seemed shorter because it was a solid group of fun individuals. She added "Having said that, this film was made long before the digital age. So it was shot entirely on short ends. Meaning, you had only one take to get it right! So, not only did it have to be timed perfectly to fit the length of the short end- it also had to be your best performance. You didn't have the luxury of multiple takes back then. You were shooting film and it was simply too expensive. At the same time, I think that is also what has given us some of the best comedic moments in a lot of these low budget cult classics. Anyway, on Bikini Hotel we ended up improvising a lot of the filler shots in the miniature gulf sequences. JJ had just done Attack of the 60 Ft Centerfold, so we did a parody of that with a section of the golf course that was houses. They used force perspective to make it look like she was trampling them. And then there was the infamous cat fight, which was not in the original script, but was really funny. JJ and I had some fun with the utter ridiculousness of it. It remains one of my favorite bits."
