Trivia

This was Mark L. Lester's return to theatrical features after nearly a decade of TV movies, and his last before retirement—somehow fitting for the man who gave us Commando and Class of 1984.

Cultural

Double Take arrived dead-last in the erotic thriller boom, when direct-to-video had already killed the genre's theatrical viability; its $3 million budget and zero marketing basically guaranteed instant obscurity.
