Due to an actual murder outside of a Chinese restaurant a few feet away from the filming location, the production had to move the final gun fight from the alley to inside the cinema the day before shooting due to concerns from the community.
The movie was shot on location in a "working" porno cinema. The cast and crew had to wait for patrons to leave before filming commenced every night.
Writer/Director Ryan Nicholson wrote the script after hearing about "live sex shows" and other activities taking place in this specific cinema.
