    • Trivia
      A newspaper from Torreón, México reported that the cast and crew were followed, and to some degree bullied, by people while shooting on location in Ciudad Juárez, México. They even reported the robbery of equipment.
    • Goofs
      In the scenes located in Juarez Avenue, it can be seen "transborde" buses and a big led screen with publicity. Those were activated in late 2006. (The story occurs on 1996)

    An important story told badly
    Backyard is a fictionalised version of events that actually occurred in a small Mexican/American border known as Ciudad Juarez.

    The film covers similar ground to The Virgin Of Juarez and the better known Bordertown. In Backyard, though, Director Carlos Carrrera attempts to take a grittier, more realistic approach to telling the story.

    While it's hard to argue with Ana de la Reguera's performance, one can't help wondering if this film would have benefited from a heroine that didn't take makeup and modelling classes while attending police academy.

    An important story told badly.
