Trivia:

The Volvo in the opening scene was left in front of the producer's house after filming. The aftermath was a "bloody mess". Someone passing by saw the car and assumed it was linked to a crime scene and called the police. The producer arrived home after a long day of shooting to a line up of police cars and flashing lights.

hands down, the worst film i have ever seen

i don't usually post comments about films. but after watching this disaster i needed to warn any potential viewers: STAY AWAY. there is nothing redeeming about this movie in any way. the acting is laughably bad, the editing made me want to close my eyes (which is what the black screen cuts felt like) and the script...i kept marveling every two minutes, "who wrote this?" the lead actor couldn't act his way out of a speeding ticket, and the lead actress, all i could do was stare at her obviously cosmetically enhanced bosom and lips. i'm surprised that someone actually committed time and money to this catastrophe. in fact, i'm so incensed right now that i have to continue writing more lines since there is a minimum of ten required for comment submission so i will continue typing things until it says i am OK to submit. apparently this is enough.
