The movie is considered an "Ozploitation" (Australian exploitation) picture.
The name of the motel was the ''Rocky Beach Motel''.
The film's closing credits declare that this production was: ''Filmed on location in Palm Beach, Whale Beach and Narrabeen, New South Wales, Australia''.
The name of the commercial being filmed at the start of the film was ''Sheena''. A film with that title in real life would debut in cinemas about three years later [See: Sheena, reine de la jungle (1984)].
The film did not receive a theatrical release in its native Australia, but went straight to home video, bar a few theatrical screenings. The picture in December 1981 was intended to get a theatrical release but local distributors wouldn't have a bar of it.
