    • Trivia
      Jill Lansing was asked to pose topless for the theatrical one sheet poster, but demanded to be paid an outrageous sum of money. So producers asked Mary-Margaret Humes, one of the actresses who had auditioned for the lead, to do it and she agreed even though she wasn't in the film.
    • Goofs
      When Kim "shoots" the tin can, it is obvious that the can is being flipped into the air by the wooden plank under it.
    • Quotes

      Kim Bentley: I can't do it, Lance... I mean, I may be a hooker, but I'm not a hitgirl.

      Lance: It's time you graduated.

    The Best Schoolgirl turns Prostitute Turns Hitwoman Movie Ever!

    It's definitely the best story I've ever seen about a girl who wants better grades and then becomes a prostitute and then becomes an assassin. Part of the excellent "Welcome to the Grindhouse" series complete with trailers for other good trash. This movie also contains the ODDEST music cues ever; one was used on the old SCTV and they also use the song that became "The People's Court" theme. Bad acting, unbelievable plotting make this is a "MUST OWN" for connoisseurs of bad cinema. The DVD is paired with "Trip with the Teacher" another grade Z champion seemingly "inspired" by "Last House on the Left." The entire "Welcome to the Grindhouse" is essential DVD.
