Travolta compared the messy love relationships in the move to the 1960s, saying: "[In the] late '60s, early '70s, free love and menages a trois were kind of … the sexual revolution that was introduced at that time…. So this is a kind of throwback to it and I know it's still happening today as well. It just was very, kind of newsworthy in those days."
Salma Hayek was also aware of the extreme violence during filming and was sure to keep her daughter away from the set. She said. "I mean, it's very sexy, this movie… It's very, very violent so if you're the kind of people who like sexy and violence, if you like it hot, this movie is for you. But done beautifully. It's very elegant…. She's not going to watch this movie… Actually, this was the only movie that she was not on the set. I usually bring her on the set and she always likes to sit right next to the monitor and she bosses everyone around."
Lively has also spoken to the Huffington Post about the awkward costumes she was forced to wear during filming. She said, "When you look like you, you talk like you, you're from southern California and you wear clothes you went shopping for at Topshop, then it gets to be a little messy. Like, 'I don't want people to think this is me!' It was a really weird personal challenge shooting this."
