Production started in July 2003 with the intention to be finished by September the same year. But due to actor Brian Thomas being unavailable to complete his scenes, production had to be put on hold until he could return for an evenings filming before the film could finish. Eventually, filming wrapped in October 2004.
Christopher Fice filmed behind the scenes footage throughout the making of the film. The footage features on a 2 disc DVD.
The sequence towards the end of the film when Ray Harvey goes to collect the money for the killing of Hitman, was filmed on 2 different nights. The shots with the boss and his henchman were filmed first, but the actor playing Ray Harvey was unavailable, so his scenes had to be filmed a year later and then edited together to give the impression they were all there together.
This was the first film Andrew Dawe edited on computer. Prior to this, he had been editing on VHS machines. When editing was complete, the master copy was archived on VHS because the early DVD compression was so low it was thought best that VHS was the better option. Years later when DVD technology had improved, the VHS was transferred to DVD.
