Linda Blair did not want her fans to be deceived by what amounted to a cameo part by the actress in this film. She told the Los Angeles Times she had it stipulated in her contract that her name could not be above the movie title, nor in bigger print than anybody else's. The distributors however did feature Linda prominently in the ads and posters: dressed like Sheena (in high heels) and aiming a bazooka, Linda was clearly their drawing card for audiences. Additionally, the DVD release marketed Blair as the star of the film, billing her name above the title.
This "new movie" was cobbled together from scenes of both Hotel Paradise (1980) and Escape from Hell (1980) with 10 minutes of new additional footage featuring Linda Blair. The result was an incoherent movie featuring some of the same actors who appeared in both earlier movies disappearing and reappearing as different characters at different points in the story.
Linda Blair did not wear the torn outfit depicted in the poster.
The DVD release marketed this film as featuring the "first film appearance" Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller. Teller does not make an appearance.
