Did You Know?
Trivia | The film was financed with the understanding that Jennifer Tilly was to play the role of Corky. The actress playing Violet dropped out of the project shortly before shooting began, however. At this point Gina Gershon became available to do the film. At first she was to play Violet; but since she was better suited to Corky, she and Tilly switched roles. See more » |
Goofs | When Corky kicks the gun out of Caesar's hand, she is wearing socks, having removed her paint-stained boots. But as she follows through with the kick, she is wearing boots. See more » |
