"Hang up the chick habit" end credits song...


What a cool, catchy song. 😀

I can't get it outta my damn head.

Perfect choice for this female-centric film.

I agree, great song.

It's a remake of a French song from 1964.

Who were the women shown during those credits?

reply

The faces that appear during the credits are from film color tests. The card with the colors that appears in them is a way for the color corrector to get the best possible image out of the film. But as for who the girls are, no one knows -- they're just random models chosen for the shoot. (IMDb)

Ah cool thanks for the info :)

These test images are called China Girls or Leader Ladies and are used for calibration in film processing. They were sometimes film lab workers themselves. Technical details and a gallery of China Girls:
