Production
The film contains some kung fu scenes shot by Jonathan Demme and Joe Dante worked on the movie as a dialogue director.[1]
Corman did not want the film to seem like it was done in the Philippines so he had Curtis Hanson shoot an opening sequence in Los Angeles where Pat Anderson jumped in a taxi cab driven by Dick Miller.[2]
Reception
Roger Corman says the film was successful, which he attributed in part to its strong women's lib stance.[3]
