In an interview for VideoScope Magazine (Issue 81, Winter 2012), Matthew Causey addressed the re-shoots that were required for the film: "You know, we did a lot of re-shooting on that film. The first cut no one was particularly happy with. We shot more material - God, I think a year later and then even six months after that. We kept adding scenes into it, like the slumber party scene and the male stripper scene. There was a lot of work in trying to make that film work. To a certain degree, the first cut could have possibly been the best. Maybe someday they'll come out with a "director's cut".".
Regarding the "mystery woman" seen throughout the film accompanied with thunder cracks and the sound of an eagle, Matthew Causey said the following: "I think that was an idea that got started but never quite finished. When David Beaird first had his ideas on the script, as I recall, this was going to be a Faustian myth of Pondo having made a deal with the devil. The blonde woman who keeps appearing is some kind of Mephistopheles figure. That's something that, over time as we just went for the laughs, seems to have just sort of gotten left out. [...] A lot of it had to do, I believe, with the multiple re-shoots we did. By the end you sort of not have to worry about the blonde too much, just go with the laughs."

In an interview for VideoScope Magazine (Issue 81, Winter 2012), Matthew Causey has said about the improv on the film: "David Beaird would just keep the camera rolling and keep throwing ideas at me. I'd keep playing around. Some of the scenes, like eating the Twinkie and the Cheez Whiz, he'd just put a bunch of props there and we'd go to town on the drug scene. All of the scenes were really just an extended kind of improv. [...] We had a great prop guy, Ron Seigel, and he just loaded us up with all kinds of props. Everything was sort of there to play with. So there was a kind of freedom and creativity taking place on that. We were just pulling every stop we possibly could to get a laugh.".
