Kim Cattrall is well known and Boyd Gaines is a respected actor, but your point is valid.

Oh poor Kim is in this? I don’t know who Boyd Gaines is.

Boyd Gaines was also Valerie Bertinelli's husband on One Day at a Time.

They filmed in Florida. Most the cast just did it for fun, basically. They didn't even expect the film to be released (it was originally going to be rated X). Is it a bad thing that they aren't they aren't part of the Hollywood movie mill?

If you listen to Bob Clark's audio commentary, he says something about how the monumental success of the movie meant that the male leads were pigeonholed in those roles and it wasn't good for their careers.
