Christina Ricci wore a forty-pound chain during filming. Writer and director Craig Brewer brought various different chains on the set and told Ricci to choose the one that suited her best.
Samuel L. Jackson learned to play the guitar for this film while completing production of Snakes on a Plane (2006). This film was the other of two films released the same year in which Jackson starred with the word "snake" in the title.
Christina Ricci revealed in an interview that she wasn't the filmmakers' first choice for the role. She said, "They didn't even want me to audition. But I bleached my hair, auditioned and they still weren't fully convinced. They were worried I wasn't going to be sexual enough, so my agents and publicist just inundated them with sexy images of me." That and her willingness to perform nude in several scenes, something other potential actresses didn't want to do, finally convinced them to cast her.
The title of the film derives from the Blind Lemon Jefferson song, recorded in 1927.
Shipped to theaters as "Bible School Mission".
"Local Mechanic: It's already noon, Rae. Do you think those shorts should still be on? Rae: Well, if they weren't, you could kiss my rebel cooch, you faggot!"
"Rae: [confronting her mother at the grocery store] Since you workin' on the square now, maybe we could get some coffee in the morning, if you want... Sandy: You need money again? Rae: No. That's not why... [pause] Rae: Why we always gotta do this? I mean, you and me been at each other as far back as I can remember. Wasn't no love between us. And I'm your daughter. I'm the only family you got. Sandy: You never needed nobody. Always made that clear to me. Rae: Yeah. I know I did. But I'm trying to be different. I'm trying to get some peace, you know? Sandy: I'm workin' here, Rae. Can you see that? Rae: [sulks] I just wanted some make-up. Sandy: All that shit's on Aisle 5. Rae: [Rae starts walking away. She quickly turns back to Sandy] I just think you should'a kept him off me, that's all! Sandy: [stops working and turns to Rae] The hell are you talkin' about? Rae: Now see? Don't do that. I'll go along with all you say about me. But that, you can't pretend no more on that 'cause I was just a kid, Momma. [pause] Rae: I didn't know about any of that stuff he was doing to me, and you let him do it. Some big nobody in your life and you let him do as he wanted with the only somebody you had! [Sandy walks up to Rae and grabs her by the arm] Rae: I'm sorry, Mama! I didn't mean to shout... Sandy: All my life I been putting out your fires with you givin' out your snatch to every waggin' dick in this town, and you gonna lay the blame at my feet? Well, I ain't gonna take that! Rae: But Momma, just tell me! I'm not gonna be mad. We can just talk about it! Be eye to eye on this. You don't even gotta say you're sorry, just say how you knew! Sandy: Only thing I'm sorry for is listening to my parents and having you... [pause] Sandy: Instead of doing what I should'a done! Rae: [grabs a mop and attacks her mother] TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW! *GODDAMNED LIAR*! SAY IT! JUST FUCKING SAY IT! [Rae continues whacking Sandy with the mop] Rae: YOU WERE IN THE NEXT ROOM, YOU *BITCH*!"
