Trivia

Jordan Ladd was originally cast as Amy Blue, but her mother, Cheryl Ladd, vetoed her playing the role at the last minute. This explains the special "no thanks" closing credit where Araki lists Cheryl Ladd and others as people who "had no faith". Araki and Cheryl later became friends, and Jordan Ladd does appear in his follow-up film "Nowhere". See more »
