He even went so far as to show them a picture of her in the "Wonder Woman" costume from the set and they still didn't believe him. Wonder Woman (1975) star Lynda Carter eventually heard about this and took it upon herself to personally invite the entire class to the set so they could see Epper herself in action.
- During the filming of Foxy Brown, Epper told Pam Grier's stunt double to take a step forward before hitting her with a huge painting in a heavy frame during a fight scene. The stunt double forgot to take the step forward and ended up hitting Epper with the frame instead of the painting and cracked her skull opened.
