George C. Scott and director Paul Schrader did not get along, so much that at one point Scott refused to come out of his trailer and threatened to quit the film. Scott only agreed to come out after forcing Schrader to promise that he would never direct again (obviously, Schrader went back on his promise).
The movie was based on a real true life story. As a high school student, writer-director Paul Schrader had heard about a local teenage girl in Grand Rapids, Michigan who went missing and who eventually was found to have appeared in an adult movie. This local mini scandal organically evolved into the screenplay for this picture.
Adult actress Marilyn Chambers auditioned for the role of a porn actress, but the casting director took one look at her and said she was too wholesome to be cast as a porn queen. Chambers said in an interview that they wanted a woman with orange hair who chews gum, swings a big purse, and wears stiletto heels, which she felt was so cliche. Season Hubley was cast instead.
George C. Scott later admitted that although he liked the script, he never would have accepted the role had he known the film was going to be shot at real-life seedy locations.
When location director Paul Pav was scouting porno shops for the film, he was stonewalled. Pav remembered, "That was the worst experience of my life. They're all scared to talk to you. If you say to a manager that you want to film in his porn shop, he says, 'Get out!' Then you have to go and find the owner of the shop. That's the most difficult thing. They're often lawyers and doctors. I'd have to leave my name, then someone would call me back. Often I wound up talking to people behind closed doors."
"Jake VanDorn: Turn it off! Turn if off! TURN IT OFF!"
"Niki: So I guess we're both fucked, huh? Least you get to go to heaven. I don't get shit."
