Trivia
Penn Jillette lost so much weight (around 120 lbs) after principle photography ended that they were unable to go back and do any re-shoots or pick-up scenes as he looked so dramatically different.

Quotes
Herbert Blount: Usually the police captain in movies is an exasperated African American man, but we went with the lady from Insidious.

Crazy credits
Movie begins with a false disclaimer in all-capital letters:

Attention Movie Watchers

The views expressed in the following directors [sic] commentary are the opinions of the movie maker alone and not the corporate hacks who butchered this movie in the first place.

Live commentary

Since Laserdiscs and even more so DVDs and Blu Rays (and who knows what's next apart from streaming), the special feature that involves filmmakers and stars or crew commenting on the movie you're watching, the question is, if sometimes the movies may only be entertaining or watchable with the audio commentary on. It's certainly true with most films by Uwe Boll and it's a feature you get here for free.

I do wonder if there will be an audio commentary for this one. Which would be breaking more than just a fourth wall, which the movie incidentally does already. It's funny and it's a gimmick, that does pay off if you like this sort of thing. Some jokes (most of them actually) are not really sophisticated, but rather low and simple. Still this was a lot of fun to watch and the actors obviously had fun doing this. Sit back, relax and enjoy this silly fun too then
