After it became clear that Jerry Paris would not be able to direct the film, screenwriter Gene Quintano was offered the chance to take over as director. He turned the offer down, not feeling confident enough in his abilities, and so Jim Drake directed it instead. On the day of the film's premiere, Quintano told Paul Maslansky that he regretted turning down the director's chair, and so Maslansky offered him the job of writing and directing Honeymoon Academy (1989), which this time Quintano accepted immediately.

Lance Kinsey's pregnant wife Nancy was due to give birth during production. He asked director Jim Drake if it was possible that they could have Proctor's scenes filmed early on, so Lance could go and be with his wife when she gave birth. Drake was happy to accommodate his request, shuffling the schedule to wrap Proctor's scenes early. Kinsey caught a flight home on November 12, just in time for the Kinseys to welcome their first son into the world on November 14, 1986.
