Did You Know?
| Trivia | Despite only appearing in two scenes, Kristin Bauer made her own outfit for her strip routine and visited porn stars who gig at strip clubs. She even had training on how to use a whip. See more » |
| Goofs | Jessie uses her real name as her stage name at the Blue Iguana, something which is discouraged by the managers for safety reasons. This is made clear halfway through the film when Stormy is told off by Dave for having mail sent to her real name Marie Hughes. See more » |
