Trivia

Director Michael Gottlieb got the idea for this film when he was walking by a store window and was startled to "see" a mannequin move by itself. He realized it was just an optical illusion caused by a combination of lights and shadows, but began to wonder what would happen if a mannequin actually DID come to life.

You will notice at the back of the trolley as it comes out of the door a mannequin with both hands in the air and a purple outfit, it also has a head. In the very next scene as Roxie just enters the compactor room, look to the left and you will notice that that mannequin has switched to a headless mannequin and the arms are not in the same position, but it's still dressed in purple.
