Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the opening credits, a girl is walking down the street and a movie poster is shown. It's for "Scorpio 'E Turo Clint Eastwood", which is an Italian poster for Dirty Harry (1971).
- GoofsGood thing they changed the film's English title to "Case of the Bloody Iris", since the Italian title translates as "Why the strange drops of blood on Jennifer's body?", but, though there are splatters of blood on most of the other women in the picture, and there are, indeed, drops of blood on an iris, there are NO drops of blood whatsoever, strange or otherwise, on Jennifer's body.
- Quotes
