Production

James Bond III directed Def by Temptation, his debut feature film, in four weeks with a $5 million budget. Unlike other low-budget films distributed by Troma Inc., the film employed actors who were members of the Screen Actors Guild. Troma initially aimed to release the film during Black History Month in February 1990 to coincide with the release of the film's soundtrack album.

The film's credits include a dedication to James Bond Sr. and James Bond Jr., the grandfather and father of Bond III, who died in 1982 and 1979, respectively.
