Jeffrey Tambor filmed his role during a two-day break in the shooting of नरकपुत्र द्वितीय: गोल्डन सेना (2008).
Michael Papajohn, who plays the mugger who ends up gunning Rick Riker's parents down, originated the role of Dennis "Spike" Carradine - the robber who gunned-down and car-jacked the uncle of Peter Parker in स्पाइडर-मैन (2002).
This movie was not screened for critics.
Several of the characters in this movie have alliterative names (Rick Riker, Jill Johnson, Lou Landers, etc.) reflecting Marvel's penchant of giving its characters alliterative names (e.g. Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange, Bucky Barnes, Sue Storm, Matt Murdoch, Otto Octavius, Pepper Potts).
Drake Bell's character is mostly based on Spider-Man. A few years after this movie, he voiced Spider-Man in the TV series Ultimate Spider-Man (2012). He also shares the same birthday as Tobey Maguire, who plays the titular Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's trilogy.
