This production was filmed back to back with Dumb Criminals: The Movie (2015). This was an unusual move as Dumb Criminals was a totally new Paul Fenech show and normally producers would wait to see if the first Dumb Criminals was a hit before making a motion picture of the new production.
In 2015, Paul Fenech's fans were waiting for him to make a sequel to the movie, Fat Pizza Vs Housos (2014), and many were not too impressed that he seemed to be leaving that behind and moving onto a new show called Dumb Criminals.
This had a different feel to previous Paul Fenech productions "Pizza", "Swift And Shift Couriers" and "Housos". Also, some of Fenech's often used actors of the past were given bit roles or went missing all together.
