Career killer fro Kristy Swanson?


This film is so montumentally awful, there had to be collateral damage. I don't think she had a significant role after this. Then she morphed into some unrecognizable Playboy creature.

Really liked her in the original Buffy movie and The Chase. Not sure if this movie is the one that killed/downgraded her career, cuz a year later she was the female lead in a potential blockbuster (Phantom), which of course turned out to be a critical and commercial flop.

It's too bad really, she was no Meryl Streep but should have had a better career IMO.

The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown

I think she was in too many flop films.

Its that man again!!

This movie is so puke-inducingly awful in so many ways. Her eyeroll-bad pseudo-feminist rape-victim character was only partially redeemed by appearing as wanton slut Christie Boner five years later in Dude Where's My Car. LOL! F^ck you politically-correct mid-90s =)

This movie didn't kill anybody's career---she appeared in another film called THE PHANTOM that tanked at the box office too, even though it wasn't that bad. She just never found that one flick that would have propelled her career higher than it did, that's all. Happens to a lot of actors, regardless or how good they are.
