Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Tony Martin had a rule that everyone who worked on the movie had to be seen on screen. Only the focus puller refused, but Martin got lucky when the reflection of that particular crew member is seen in the security guard's window during the Northey/XL9000 scenes. Martin decided not to use optical effects to remove the focus puller so that his rule was obeyed by everyone. Martin reveals this in the DVD commentary.
- Crazy creditsThe characters, entities, events and scenes depicted in this film are fictitious. Any similarities to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual entities or events are purely coincidental. Except for the bit where dog bit the sprinkler. That really happened.
- Alternate versionsDeleted scene included on the DVD:
- Just before the scene with Ben and Julie at the pub, there was a short (29sec) scene where Ben meets Julie at the Melbourne Tribune and makes a half-arsed apology. There follows a joke at the expense of Jerry Maguire (1996).

Featured review
A very solid directorial debut from one of Australia's finest comedy talents. Well written with good performances from Bob Franklin, Judith Lucy & long time Martin partner in crime Mick Molloy. Not a laugh a minute film, but very funny all the same, with a strong storyline (something too many comedies lack). The opening scene from a visual gag point of view is a real highlight.
Another thing worth noting, in a recent radio interview to promote the film, Martin said he made a conscious effort not put any trams in the film, as trams always seem to make an appearance in films set in Melbourne. Martin succeeds, this time including a train, part of another funny scene
