Interesting facts

Stripped to Kill is a 1987 American erotic thriller/sexploitation film directed by Katt Shea and starring Greg Evigan, Kay Lenz and Norman Fell. Its plot follows a female Los Angeles police detective who goes undercover posing as a stripper to investigate a series of slayings connected to a strip club near Skid Row.

Production

The film was inspired by a visit Katt Shea and her husband and writing partner Andy Ruben made to a strip club.

Shea recalled: "I didn't want to go because I felt it was humiliating to women". But I finally got myself there. I sat down and began watching these acts and they're performing as if they really cared".

Before I did STRIPPED TO KILL you had never seen a girl dancing on a pole, no one had ever seen that in a movie, to my knowledge. Girls swinging around on a pole--that had not been done yet. So I think that was spectacular; it was crazy, it was wild. This is how it happened.

Lenz was worried about playing a stripper at age 34 until she found out in research many of the strippers had college student children.
