A script was written by [[Roger Ebert]], who had co written Meyer's ''[[Beyond the Valley of the Dolls]]''. Ebert had never heard of the band, and says Meyer told him "We can go wild on this. I've got a couple of big-titted London girls already in mind."<ref name="ebert">{{cite web|first=Roger|last=Ebert|author-link=Roger Ebert|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/mclaren-and-meyer-and-rotten-and-vicious-and-me|website=Roger Ebert|title= McLaren & Meyer & Rotten & Vicious & me|date=April 11, 2010 }}</ref> (A script had apparently been written by [[Rene Daalder]], but Meyer discarded it.)<ref name="ebert"/>

Meyer said it was "more on the order of ''[[Beyond the Valley of the Dolls]]''. Instead of four girls, I had four boys. It was about this supposedly aging rock star who was prone to go out into the Queen's Reserve, shoot a deer, and then give it to the poor. He was dressed in livery and had a convertible [[Rolls Royce]]."<ref name="dolls"/>
