* BoxOfficeBomb: This movie had a budget of about 1.2 million. It made $20... in the United States. We specify this because the movie's American theatrical run was ten total screenings over a ten day period at a single theatre outside [[UsefulNotes/DFWMetroplex Dallas]], with no fanfare. It technically made $30, but two of the $5 tickets were refunded because they were purchased by the film's makeup artist. The director wanted to release it internationally, but had to comply with the Screen Actors Guild's guidelines requiring a theatrical release in America. But even then, the film earned only $368,000 in foreign profits, so it was still a massive flop.
