Director Todd Stephens said in the DVD commentary that he used Kodak film up until the point when the boys lose their virginity (after which he started using Fuji film) to portray a rush into reality.
Shot in 16 days.
The role of Sloppi Seconds was originally written as Kiki, the cabaret character created by Mx Justin Vivian Bond. When Bond turned down the movie offer, the part was rewritten specifically for Mink Stole and turned into Sloppi Seconds, a transsexual. Her scenes would ultimately be cut from the film, aside from a brief profile shot where she sits between Jarod, Griff, and Beau in Bodangles.
In 2021, Sloppi Seconds' previously cut footage was included on the Director's Cut version of the film.
In one scene, Nico's mother shows him a video where he, as a child, did an impersonation of actress Karen Black in Airport 75 (1974). Karen Black appeared in director Todd Stephens' previous film, Gypsy 83 (2001).
