The actor who was supposed to play Coach Tuffman backed out at the last minute, so writer/director 'Tim Sullivan (XI)' took over the role.
The name of the fictional band that performs at the dance (headed by Robbie Vinton) is Big Toe and The Jam.
Writer/director Tim Sullivan had trouble getting agents to show the script to actors because it included a locker room rape scene.
Because of the rushed schedule, the actors had to lip synch to recordings of composer Patrick Copeland and re-dub the songs after filming was completed.
