    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Austen Tayler's only acting role.
    • Goofs
      In the close-up shot of George and Pete's lifeless bodies, Timothy Bottoms can be seen breathing.
    • Crazy credits
      The cast names and the technical credits are "typed" onto the screen during the opening scene.
    • Alternate versions
      The Trans World Entertainment VHS release was called HUSBANDS, WIVES, MONEY, AND MURDER with its video-generated title card plastered over the Argentum Productions logo and its original title. Plus the beginning/end credits were yellow/gold-colored rather than the original white.

    A Total Steam Pile
    By far the worst movie I have ever seen. (And I've seen "Flesh Eating Mothers.") When I'm laying on my death bed, one single tear will roll down my cheek as I remember the 1 1/2 hours I wasted subjecting myself to this movie.
