    • Trivia
      Director 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 credits
      The 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 versions
      Deleted 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).

    Not bad...

    This movie describes itself as "a deadly serious comedy", but to me it is more of a "comedic thriller" in that the thriller aspect tends to predominate, with some laughs thrown in. It's well made, the plot being quite convoluted, and suspense maintained. Set in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, it can be compared with the movie "You Can't Stop the Murders" which was set in New South Wales. This latter film had more laughs, and less of the thriller element - but both are good movies and worth viewing. Bad Eggs gets 7 out of 10 from me.
