Trivia / Audition

• Completely Different Title:
  • Greece: Slow Death
  • Portugal: Angel or Demon
  • Poland: Foreplay
  • Turkey: Death Rehearsal
• Enforced Method Acting: For the scene where Asami vomits into a dish and feeds it to the Bag Man, the vomit is real. Eihi Shiina insisted on actually vomiting (offscreen, thankfully) for the scene.
• Referenced by...:
  • My Chemical Romance's "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us" video is a Whole-Plot Reference to this movie.
  • Olivia Rodrigo's music video for "good 4 u" also contains a few visual references to the film. Rodrigo auditions for the cheerleading squad in a manner similar to how Asami's audition was staged (an all-white outfit, the single chair in center frame), and she later dons arm-length black rubber gloves as she enacts her revenge plot.
