The entire town of Mount Dora, Florida, was painted pink for this picture.
According to Pulse the Magazine, "the film had been fraught with problems, from a disjointed script to its title - and marketing that implied it was just '...another car crash comedy romp'. This was compounded by the producers' decision to sell the video rights before Universal Pictures agreed to release the film. Angered by this, Universal minimized their marketing support and limited the number of theaters in which the film was shown. Withdrawn from theaters just a week after its release, the movie disappeared".
Two thousand extras and background artists in Mount Dora, Florida were paid around US $35 per day to appear in the film.
The location of the off-ramp was the overpass at the I-75 and Palmer Road in Sarasota, Florida.
Wikipedia states: "Just before the film was released, EMI sold the ancillary rights under this scheme to German investors in need of a tax loss, in an effort to try to recoup their $11,000,000 loss. When the movie's distributors learned this fact, they were no longer financially motivated to distribute the movie widely and consequently released the film for only one week".
