8 different actors were considered for the role of Luckyzilla including Adam Lawrence and Eddie Giacin. Chris Abel was cast, but a scheduling conflict prevented his involvement beyond the main title and flying sequences, which were filmed on December 2, 2006. John Handler was cast as Lucky only two days before shooting began.
The final cost of the film was $700, half of which was used to buy the green screen needed to film the flying sequences.
The film was shot in a total of 7 non-consecutive days.
Most of the actors were cast without an audition due to time restraints.
This was remade in comic book form in Luckyzilla #5, which was published in July 2017.
