Curiosidades

The inspiration for this film arose out of Craig Ferguson's desire to make a cheerful film that celebrates Scottishness, as opposed to the epic nature of films like Coração Valente (1995) and Rob Roy: A Saga de uma Paixão (1995), and the downbeat quality of Trainspotting: Sem Limites (1996) and Cova Rasa (1994).

Much of the inspiration for the character of Crawford Mackenzie came from a roommate of Craig Ferguson's during his rise to popularity as a comic.

Craig Ferguson attended a hairdressing institute to learn all about the art of hairdressing.
