Trivia:

This film was adapted from a book by Anne Rice, and during the scene in New Orleans people are arguing over whether a man is Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. These two actors starred in a film adaptation of Rice's Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), which mostly takes place in New Orleans.

Goofs:

Continuity: After Detective Shelia has asked for Elliot and he comes to her room, Elliot is telling her he wants to leave to go to the race. The leaves hanging behind Shelia appear and disappear with each camera change. As she sits down, you can see it's a vine hanging down to the wardrobe handle but the length changes as the scene plays out.

Quotes:

Dr. Martin Halifax: You've achieved a great deal of success in your creative and artistic field. You've traveled a great deal. You have influential friends. You've dated a bevy of bright and beautiful woman. Yet, with all this, you never had a lasting relationship.

Exit this film immediately!

When two undercover cops investigate Iman The Terrible, they're in for a romp of pleasure. This may go down to being a milestone as one of the sickest American comedies ever produced, where plenty of S&M is the biggest swap for light-hearted fun. Forget the entire cast that includes Dan and Rosie, because they all possibly wished they hadn't appeared in this picture ever since its first shooting. Best of all, you can forget this movie all in one piece. REJECTED.
