This film was originally produced in 1990, but Kim was so disappointed with it that he chose to withhold releasing it. The film was submitted to the censors twice - once in 1990 (as Cheonsayeo aknyeoga doera) and again in 1995, under the new title (Jukeodo joeun gyeonghyeom). The film was not screened for the public until the 1998 Pusan International Film Festival, following Kim's death in a house fire. It is through this odd series of events that Beasts of Prey (aka: Carnivore) (1985), is also sometimes referenced as his 'final' film.
