The original idea of the film was given to Dirk Ellis by Adam Barr in 2011, 3 years before the actual filming when they were roommates in Singapore working a entertainment contract for Universal Studios.
The 3 Mexican cartel members used in the film were cast less than 2 weeks before the filming. Originally, production was going with 3 Arminian guys, but as the shoot date drew closer, they backed out due to being too busy, or perhaps the fear factor of acting.
Both swat team members "John" and "Brad", played by actors Adam Barr and Reece Kirk are actually Australian playing Americans in the film.
The kilo's of cocaine used in the film are nothing more than about 15 bags of white flower bought by Dirk the night before, wrapped and tapped to look like drugs.
The drug cartel location and the bachelorette party location are the exact same place. Adam, Dirk and a third roommate lived in this condo for a year and a half.
