All principal actresses in this film were former "Playboy" Playmates.
John Aprea's performance as Captain Andreas made a big impression on TV executives Miller & Boyett. They offered Aprea a role on Full House (1987). Originally he was considered to be cast as Danny Tanner, but Boyett vetoed the decision and even threatened to dissolve the partnership. A compromise was reached and he was cast as Nick Katsopolis. It was John Aprea who came up with the idea for Pam Tanner (his daughter) to be killed by a drunk driver although he received no writing credit. Some say Miller and Boyett never fully recovered from this disagreement.
Playboy Playmate Hope Marie Carlton's last film for Andy Sidaris. Sidaris said in an interview that she was good on the screen, but she was difficult to work with. Yet they kept inviting her back. But as he was getting ready to make his next movie, Guns (1990), she told Sidaris she didn't want to be naked, even though she had been in his previous films. That was the last straw for Sidaris, so he let her go, saying that's the only reason he wanted her.
