| TRIVIA |
|
| This
film was shot in just five days using the same sets and much of
the same cast of the film Smoke (1995). The idea came to
the directors while watching actors improvising to get into character.
They thought that these improvisations were so funny that they could
make an entirely new film using them. Therefore, after Smoke
was finished this film was made. |
