Lead actor Mathew Karedas (credited as Matt Hannon) cut his long hair very short seven months after filming wrapped. While he was looking for more acting work, director and screenwriter Amir Shervan called him back for some re-shoots. Shervan was furious that Karedas had cut his hair and immediately went out to look for a wig. Unfortunately, Shervan was only able to find a woman's wig that looked nothing like Karedas's long hair. Karedas agreed to wear it, assuming Shervan was going to do some long-shots and pick-ups. Shervan still had half of the movie to shoot, completely out of chronological order. As a result, Karedas' character's hair alternates between his natural long hair and an obvious wig. The wig even comes off a few times, revealing Karedas's real short hair.
The entire movie is set during daytime because Amir Shervan could not afford lighting to shoot at night.
Almost every shot in the movie was done with just a single take, so as to conserve as much film reel as possible. This led to a lot of bloopers, flubbed lines, and mistakes to be left in the final cut.
Many fans once believed that Mathew Karedas had died, due to the rumored death of a person in the film industry named Matt Hannon, Karedas' credited name in the film. Prompted by his daughter, Karedas posted a YouTube video confirming that he is alive and well. He had been largely unaware of the cult following that the film had garnered since its 2004 DVD release.
Amir Shervan shot much of the film "wild" (with no sound) and dubbed in a lot of dialogue later. Many actors were not available to speak their lines again, so Shervan used his own voice and warped it in post-production to sound different. That is why the Chinese henchman at the beginning sounds like a robot. The voice of the film editor in the editing booth scene is that of Mark Frazer, not Warren Stevens.
