Throughout the production, Russ Russo stayed in character as Irish gangster Jonah Joe off-camera, complete with his heavy brogue. Most of the cast and crew assumed he was fresh off the boat from Ireland until the wrap party.
Actress Debbie Rochon was originally cast as a TV reporter, but was forced to withdraw from the film at the last minute.
Phil Hall, reviewer for the online magazine Film Threat (www.filmthreat.com) and author of "The Encyclopedia of Underground Movies" (MWP Books), made his feature film acting debut in this movie.
Won 5 Awards at the B Movie Film Festival including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
The Character 'Jonah Joe' was not Irish when casting began. The character type was described as "an American trucker-type, 6'5, 280 lbs.", but when Russ Russo at 5'10 155 lbs. came in the door with an Irish accent and played out the intimidation scenes, he was immediately cast in the role and the character was then changed to Irish descent in the script. It wasn't until after the shoot that most crew members realized that the actor playing Jonah Joe was in fact not Irish
