Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during Canada's 1980s tax-shelter era, when American stars + Toronto locations = 'Hollywood North' legitimacy. The results were... mixed.
Michael Sarrazin allegedly took this role specifically to work with Perkins, then spent the shoot terrified of him. Method or genuine fear? Unclear.
