In this 1985 movie all the sex scenes are simulated. In a 2007 interview Maria Isabel Lopez explained how Filipino producers and directors started from 1986 to make 'pene' film: "When you do a sexy film, audiences would demand more. What will you show next? And then the filmmaker would have to outdo himself by showing more. So there was this escalation of violence and sensuality. After my generation, you know what happened? The sexy films became movies with penetration. I don't do that stuff, mine is just simulated. After that, they have to outdo themselves. The filmmakers, the producers and the move-going public wanted to see more. So they have to discover even younger actresses in the street, discover lesser stars, and the actresses became like toilet paper. That's how they (the producers) described them - tissue paper. Use them once and then throw them away. Use them for one to two films - they haven't even recovered money yet to buy themselves a car, and they are already out of the industry. And then they'll get a fresher face, younger. So my contemporaries were a decade younger than me. Because I was in my mid twenties when I was doing the sexy films, and the other films, the lead star is fifteen years old! You know, I was a middle aged woman, and my span of being a sexy star was up to one decade. I was in the industry so long, and there was a huge turnover of actresses. I outlasted them. But I told you, I have a supporting cast who will do all of the worst scenes. And since I'm the blockbuster drawer, I'm the crowd drawer in the film, they capitalize on my name, they listen to my ground rules."
Maria Isabel Lopez recalls that when this film was shown there were a lot of critics who did not like it, in reference to the presence of young children: "On the part of the moralists, they really didn't like the scenes there because we had young children with us, and even if these young children were not asked to disrobe, they were able to witness some nudity or love scenes. There were some very explicit love scenes we shot, and you could see a nine or ten year old boy watching. So the guardians of morals didn't really like that. But of course on the part of the filmmaker and the director, that was reality."
When this movie was released, Sarsi Emmanuelle and Maria Isabel Lopez claimed that they had been almost raped for real while filming a scene. Sarsi reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized for a week. Maria Isabel would show her rope burns to anybody who was interested. In 2007 Maria Isabel Lopez recalled what happened: "In one scene we were tied and in a tent, and there were a group of men who were going to gang rape us. And I cannot imagine why they really tied us so hard. So I said, 'This is too much, this is too painful!' And I realized that they wanted us to struggle - like Elwood Perez motivated the actors to attempt to really touch us, and that we would be angry, he wanted to show that anger. So I actually resented Elwood for a while after that scene. But of course I also got over it. I finally understood the director's intentions."
Director Elwood Perez took on the project because he wanted to see a Filipino movie shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
In a 2007 interview, Maria Isabel Lopez recalls her relationship with Sarsi Emmanuelle during filming: "Sarsi and I were rivals, but really we were best friends. We'd date together, hang out together, and people pitted us against each other. To have both of us in one film together was really like a formula for box office. So there were a lot of gossips coming up, they will make us fight, but we know deep within our hearts that we were friends; we would go to fashion shows together, we would hang out, our lovers knew each other, like that. During the filming it was challenging because at that time Sarsi was kinda crazy, she would also experiment in some substances - in my case I wasn't really experimenting in those things. First, Sarsi was much younger than me, and I was more mature than her."
