Featured in an episode of Redlettermedias "Best of the Worst"
Filmed in 1994, and released to a foreign test market. Not officially released until 1997.
Originally scripted by Mark Williams as "Skate Dragons" for director Donald G. Jackson. The film was intended to showcase the experimental "Zen filmmaking" technique developed by Jackson and Scott Shaw, in which a movie is produced without a proper screenplay and minimal preparation to encourage spontaneous creativity. Jackson was fired by executive producer David Huey for being "weird", and Huey took over direction. Dave Eddy was then hired to direct additional scenes to incorporate both Jackson and Huey's footage, and supervise post-production. This resulted in a disjointed, oftentimes incoherent, final film.
Donald G. Jackson was hired as the original director of this film. He was let go by the executive producer when he realized that Jackson's chaotic style of filmmaking would not meet the production deadlines.
Though Scott Shaw and Tadashi Yamashita can be seen in this film. Their performance was not filmed for this movie. The footage that was used was taken from a unused scene filmed for the 1991 film Capital Punishment that was directed by the executive producer of this film, David Huey.
