![Elizabeth Berkley - Interfilms Magazine Cover [Spain] (February 1996)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/j/6/j6o4mgeklssqs6km.jpg?skj2io4l)
- The cover image for this movie is a remake of a famous photograph by Slovak photographer Tono Stano.
- Set an all-time RAZZIE Award record with 13 nominations (one or more in all 11 categories of the 1996 Awards). Its seven "wins" tie it with Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000) as the second most dis-honored film in RAZZIE history (I Know Who Killed Me (2007) now holds the dubious distinction with eight "wins").
- When the film swept The 16th Annual RAZZIE Awards, Paul Verhoeven turned up in person to accept Worst Director and Worst Picture. He was the first director to ever turn up to collect the Award.
- After this film bombed at the box office and "swept" the 16th Annual RAZZIE Awards, MGM/UA attempted to re-market it as a "Midnight Cult Flick" à la The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). A new print ad, with a leopard-skin patterned background and prominently mentioning the film`s seven RAZZIE "Wins" ran in several L.A. area newspapers, promoting midnight showings in West Hollywood in Spring, 1996. Clever though it was, this new marketing gimmick also failed.
- Elizabeth Berkley was paid only $100,000 for playing the lead in the film. When a special V.I.P. edition boxed set was released she requested $2,500 to be interviewed. They declined.
