Shot at Shepperton Studios in England, Kim WIlde said she had no idea there would be live tarantula's and a boa constrictor on the set with her until she showed up for filming. She also said no body doubles were used for the scene where the snake slithers on top of her.
Nearly 40 years later, director Brian Grant said he got the idea for this video after watching Apocalypse Now (1979) "...a few too many times" and he joked that "...this video was me thinking that I'm a better director than I really am".
