The scene of Tina (Amanda Wyss) thrashing across the ceiling was shot using a rotating room set, which was slowly spun to allow her to roll into position. Because there wasn't any money for mechanical hydraulics, the rolling had to be done by hand and everything inside (props, cameras, lighting) had to be carefully balanced. The camera was bolted to the wall and the cameraman strapped into a chair beside it, which turned in tandem with the room. For the two shots where Rod (Jsu Garcia) and Tina reach for one other as Tina is on the ceiling, she is really lying on the floor and Garcia is upside down with his hair pasted down to stay flat. The effect was so good, that just before shooting began, Wyss got a bad case of vertigo.
