The writer, Lee Lankford, got so frustrated with the production, he demanded (in writing) that his screen credit be "Elossa Gib" (which reads Big Asshole backwards). Apparantly he felt he was a big asshole for taking the assignment as the shooting schedule was so intense.
The picture was really edited by James Jaeger, who was a film editor before directing and producing. This was one of the first features to be edited off-line on video tape.
