Note: A rough cut underwent test screenings in 1998, and posters were designed, but the film was never released. The exact reasons are unclear, but one IMDb user who was an extra in the film claims that Kelsey Grammer hated the final result and bought the rights so that it would never be released. It has not been screened publicly in any form since 1998. (Source: Lost Media)
