The video rental store seen in the film is Laugarásvideo, which was often known as Iceland's best video rental store. A couple of months after the scenes were filmed, the store was burned down by some vandals.
The original cut was over an hour long, it had to be trimmed down for the original screening.
Siggi Jökull originally had a part in the film, but due to scheduling conflicts, the part was recast.
The music in the background during the video rental scenes are all songs done by Jackie Chan for his movies. This was a small tribute done by Bjarni Gautur as he is a big fan of Jackie Chan's work. The more notable theme songs include Police Story (1985), Rumble in the Bronx (1995), Thunderbolt (1995), and Mr. Nice Guy (1997).
