          Did you know

          • Trivia
            In an interview Seijun answered the question of the uniqueness of this film in relation to other B/Program pictures he made in the time: "The studio wanted to make a skin flick, that's all. We couldn't make a real porno back then, though."
          • Goofs
            A downward shot pans across a crowd following a stretcher. When straight down, you see the shadow of the camera, crane and the camera operator.
          • Quotes
            • Sen: As soon as that wound heals, I want you out of here. This place belongs to just us girls.
