While Pamela Anderson plays only a small role in the plot, much of the advertising and even the movie tagline is focused on her.
Pamela Anderson justified her participation in the movie's sex scenes by claiming that they were important to the story and saying that she trusted the filmmakers. Lyndon Chubbuck had previously directed her in three episodes of Baywatch (1989).
Pamela Anderson previously backed out of Hello, She Lied (1996), which she had already undergone a physical examination for, claiming that she had been mistreated on the set of Raw Justice (1994) and no longer wanted to do sex scenes. An attorney for production company The Private Movie Co. suggested that she really just wanted to do Barb Wire (1996) instead and pointed out that she later participated in this film's "Twice as graphic" sex scenes.
