Approximately 90% of all dialog was dubbed afterwards due to the noisy 16mm camera used. All Foley and FX (except gunshots and footsteps) were recorded by the director and edited using a Steenbeck.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: The script is visible in several scenes, although since it was written in a notebook or on scraps of paper, it is not easy to make out.

Quotes:

Andrei Basilashvili: [in an audition for the gangster role in Antonio's new epic] Come on all you...! Er, I cannot say this word, it's, er, against my religion.
Spadina Bathurst: Well, just read on - we'll get round it - Read!
Andrei Basilashvili: Come on all you, er, morons, this is a stick up, or I'll flipping well execute every last one of you... Idiots!
[pause]
Andrei Basilashvili: Yopso Mopso
[translated loosely from Russian - 'Oh deary me!']
Andrei Basilashvili: This not very original script!
