** Michael Grais and Mark Victor rewrote the film on Mancuso Jr.'s orders, and did so in secret, without Bakshi's input. The end result - both the nature of the film itself and the fallout with the Writer's Guild over essentially scabbing - effectively obliterated their writing careers entirely (the next time they got a writing credit was on the 2015 remake of ''Poltergeist'', and that was for their original script). They also did not work on another film until the end of the decade.
* ExecutiveMeddling: The movie was intended to be an erotic horror flick about a cartoonist who had sex with a sexy cartoon woman he created named [[ShoutOut Debbie Dallas]] and is now the father of a half-real, half-cartoon girl [[HalfBreedDiscrimination who considers herself a freak]] and goes on a rampage against the man who spawned her. Sadly, Frank Mancuso Jr. and Creator/KimBasinger nixed that over the course of production, as it came to Mancuso Jr. at the wrong time. He had grown tired of the horror genre after spending most of the '80s as a producer in some form or another on almost all of the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' movies that were made during TheEighties, as well as other horror flicks like ''Film/AprilFoolsDay'' and ''Film/BodyParts'', as well as horror-themed shows like ''Friday's Curse aka Friday the 13th: The Series'', and ''Series/TheWarOfTheWorlds1988'', so he was understandably tired of doing horror films and wanted to do something different. Creator/KimBasinger was also uninterested in doing a horror movie and was much more intrigued with the idea of doing a film that could be shown to sick children in hospitals and was put off by how adult the original script was, so as filming went on the movie was changed to be more family-friendly (though it really doesn't come off that way) and into the complete and total bomb we know it as. [[GoneHorriblyRight The film hurt both of their careers as a result.]]

* PlayingAgainstType: Ralph Bakshi's only attempt at a big-budget Hollywood film.
* StarDerailingRole: One of five films in the early '90s (the others being ''Film/TheMarryingMan'', ''Final Analysis'', ''The Real [=McCoy=]'', and ''Film/TheGetaway'') that ended Creator/KimBasinger's status as an A-list actress after a great stint in the '80s. Getting sued into bankruptcy for backing out of ''Film/BoxingHelena'' ensured that she wouldn't get another role until ''Film/LAConfidential''.
* TroubledProduction: As noted in other entries, the script was rewritten behind Ralph Bakshi's back (producer Frank Mancuso Jr. delivered him the new screenplay just as production was ready to begin), Creator/KimBasinger ordered further changes, and the animators were given sort of charte blanche given Bakshi ultimately had no idea on what the film was going to be.
* WagTheDirector: Mancuso Jr. is responsible for the movie being toned down to a PG-13 knock-off of ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'', as he didn't like the original idea for an R-Rated animated horror film since he'd spent the entire previous decade producing horror films (most notable the Friday the 13th series). He wanted to do something different and had a completely new screenplay written. It was Frank who insisted on casting Creator/KimBasinger, who wanted to make a movie that she could show in hospitals to sick children. Bakshi responded to that with, "Kim, that's real nice, but I'm the wrong person for that."
