The fantastical fighting style utilized by the blue-suited bodyguards is referred to by director Kenn Scott as "grasshopper style."
The scenes of the kung fu movies seen in the film were specifically shot for the feature. Matthew Twining was filmed performing various martial arts movements, and stunt performers repeated them in choreographed fight scenes. The film was then downgraded to resemble aged video. Director Kenn Scott referred to the process as "reverse engineering."
Director Kenn Scott originally planned to star in the movie, before deciding what it would be too much work in addition to writing and directing.
The opening fight scene was originally filmed as promotional footage. When the movie was shot in full, some years later, the scene was filmed again with the actors using the same choreography.
