According to the DVD commentary, director Jim Wynorski wanted Louis Jourdan to refer to the character of Miss Poinsettia as "Points." Mr. Jourdan refused because he knew that the character's nickname was a sexual innuendo referring to her breasts. Wynorski then asked Jourdan, "Weren't you just in a movie called Octopussy?" Jourdan refused to speak to Wynorski for much of the shoot afterward.
Dick Durock's voice was overdubbed by an unknown actor, which neither Durock nor director Jim Wynorski found out about until the film premiered.
Director Jim Wynorski was given 30 days to shoot this movie and managed to film the entire picture in 27 days.
With this film, Dick Durock became the first actor since Christopher Reeve to reprise the role of a DC Comics protagonist.
When comparing scars with Gunn, Poinsettia shows him a bite mark near her right shoulder that she says she got at a Mötley Crüe concert (an in-joke because at the time co-star Heather Locklear was married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee).
