This is also model Kathy Ireland’s debut film. Oh and this is a doozy of a story. It seems Albert Pyun just decided he wanted Kathy Ireland in his film after seeing a photo of her. She then was hired immediately with no screen test whatsoever and this was of course to her complete surprise. How much of a surprise, you ask? Well, so much of a surprise that she got hired for a movie that after getting the role to this movie, she started to take acting lessons because she had never planned on being an actress and did not want to embarrass herself. Then the filmmakers decided to make her the lead because they had no one else that they thought could be the lead (despite her having zero acting experience).

For the rest of the crew, they hired decent character actors like William Moses (who was Cole Gioberti in the soap opera Falcon Crest), Deep Roy (who worked in one of the Pink Panther sequels, several Jim Henson films, a few Star Wars films, Flash Gordon, and many films you may know), and Thom Mathews (who called Jason a “pussy” in Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and was in Return Of The Living Dead 1 & 2).
