Subsequent arrest and convictions

In 2000 co-producer Michael Woods and co-star David Amos would be arrested for the 1989 murder of Horace McKenna.[1] McKenna was a partner of Woods in two strip clubs in Los Angeles, The Bare Elegance and The New Jet Strip. After the film was made the detectives started to question associates of the two when it was realized that much of the plot of the film was based around the murder of McKenna.

During the 2001 trial Amos would give testimony against Woods in exchange for a lighter sentence.[2]
