- The movie is well cast, but Robin Givens and Angela Bassett are floated as alternatives to Shari Headley.
- Bassett was 28 during filming, raising whether a white casting agent in 1987 would know to find her; she had done a lot of TV.
- Either one in 1988 is claimed to make a better movie.
- The objection: Robin Givens must be saved for Boomerang.
- The exchange ends with "I buy Sherry Headley in this" and agreement; the proposer only wanted to have the conversation.
