Director Josh Becker stated on his website that Alfred Hitchcock's La corde (1948) was the major influence in making his movie to seemingly not have any cuts.
There are several characters credited as "Fake Shemp". This is a term coined by Sam Raimi who directed Bruce Campbell in The Evil Dead.
The film was shot, entirely in order, in 10 days, with the last day ending at 10 AM.
Bruce Campbell has said that his performance in this and in Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) are two he is most proud of.
One critic was fully convinced that the film was shot in one long, unbroken take.
