Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Greece

Fantasies is a 1981 R-rated English language drama film produced in West Germany. Directed by John Derek, the film starred his wife Kathleen Collins, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadi, and Phaedon Georgitsis, with vocals by Walter Willison.

Production

Fantasies was filmed and produced on an extremely low budget on Mykonos, Greece in 1973. Originally titled Once Upon a Love, filming lasted for eight weeks. However, the film was not released until 1981, two years after Bo Derek had already become a movie fantasy girl and international star after her breakthrough performance in the comedy 10 (1979).

Director Derek and the underage Collins began a romantic affair during filming, leading to the dissolution of his marriage to then-wife Linda Evans. Derek wed Collins on June 10, 1976, after which she became internationally known as Bo Derek.

After filming, Derek and Collins took the film to Munich for post-production, where a German film lab seized the film when funding ran out. It remained in a vault until 1980, when producer Kevin Casselman purchased the rights for $100,000 to have it readied for theatrical release.

In 1986, the film had reportedly sold 20,000 VHS copies, released by CBS/Fox Video.
