   In a 2025 interview with Dave Bautista for Interview Magazine, Gia Coppola discussed the process of bringing Pamela Anderson on board. "When you think of Pamela, no one could think of her character. I had seen a photo of her on Instagram because she was promoting her documentary, and I thought, 'That would be interesting,' but I knew nothing about her as an actress. But after watching her documentary, you see how full of art and creativity she is. She's very knowledgeable about art cinema and poetry. She's a beautiful writer and a person with a lot of vulnerability and similarities to Shelly. She was eager to express herself. I didn't know her in a different way to work with her, so I went to her manager but was rejected within an hour. But I couldn't accept the no. I asked if anyone knew Brandon Thomas Lee, and eventually I talked to him about the project. 'I'd really love to talk to you.' When we talked, she was selling herself to me and I said, 'No, no. I want you to do this project. I'm trying to sell myself to you.' She stripped away all the excess and we were able to go straight to the project."

   Although a showgirl revue called "Razzle Dazzle" never actually played in Las Vegas, the story mirrors the real-life 2016 closing of "Jubilee!" at Bally's Las Vegas. Since 2023, a burlesque-based show featuring showgirl performances has been staged at the property now known as Horseshoe Las Vegas, but it is not a full showgirl revue.

    When the young dancer Jodie shows Shelly and Mary-Anne the audition routine for the new show, Shelly criticizes this new style of show and the fact that the girls have to pole dance while water is sprayed on them. Whether intentional or not, this echoes the opening scene of Pamela Anderson's Barb Wire (1996), in which her character spins on a stage in a club while soaked by a fire hose.
