Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Breeders (1986)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- For Breeders' climax, in which women are immersed in a slime pool, the production's gelatin never set, so cinematographer Arthur D. Marks ran to a supermarket for 10 pounds of flour; the flour worked but made the pool look like seminal fluid, which Tim Kincaid said was unintentional.
- The underground lair of Breeders' monster was shot in the catacombs of the Brooklyn Bridge, on the suggestion of make-up artist Ed French, who had done effects work on C.H.U.D., a film that had already used that location.
- Breeders was the first film from Empire International Pictures to be distributed direct-to-video, a shift Charles Band attributed to the company's growth and its need to pick up outside productions to meet demand.
- According to Tim Kincaid, he and his wife worked to ensure the women in Breeders were properly compensated for the film's required nudity and were not brutalized on camera, with most of the actual rape scenes implied rather than explicit.
