This movie was retitled 'Road Kill' for its American release, because the North American public generally do not know what a "road train" is. It is a two to three trailer truck.
Principal photography for this movie was originally going to be done during 2008 but due to a UK financier withdrawing due to the Global Financial Crisis, production of this movie was delayed a year until 2009 when refinancing had been completed.
The production shoot for this movie went for five weeks.
This Australian movie did not premiere for about a year after it was shot and didn't go into theatrical release in Australia for another five months after that.
The sequences inside the truck trailer were the only scenes that were shot in a studio.
