The film also features supporting performances from David Hayman, Xander Berkeley, and Courtney Love.

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1986, and was released theatrically in the United States in November of that same year.^[2] Although it failed to recoup its production budget at the box office, the film was received positively by most critics and developed a cult following.
