 Written in 10 days, based on an idea writers John Platt (I) (qv) &  Roy Langsdon (qv) came up with in the car on the drive to producer  Menahem Golan (qv)s office. The script was commisioned in  December of 1989, was in production by the end of January, 1990, and  hit theaters on March 17th that same year, all in an attempt to beat  rival lamdada flick _Lambada (1990/I)_ (qv) to theaters. Both films  were eventually released on the very same day!
