This film is listed among The 100 Most Amusingly Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE.
Harvey Weinstein lied to the press by stating that a "director's cut" of the film would be released for video rentals. Director Lizzie Borden and the then-Miramax chairman had clashed for the entirety of filming and post-production, and Borden told an interviewer that Weinstein stated the "director's cut" fiction to get revenge on her when she refused his editing diktats. She wanted to do such a cut but didn't have the contractual right to it, and Weinstein taunted her with this when the movie was a major critical and commercial failure.
