In the DVD 'making of' documentary, Marion Ramsey says she came up with Hooks' voice by reading the description of her character in the script, and recalling the time she met Michael Jackson.

When the girls are following George Martín by the fire at the beach party, the third girl in line appears again as the sixth girl in line, although in the later shot she appears with more clothing than in the earlier shot.

You're the devil, and you're rotten to the core, and you're ruining my chance to train some people who might make pretty good cops!
