The Director was only given 14 days to shoot the movie while the Producers, Emmett/Furla took massive salaries.
Emmett Furla cast dozens of "1 Line Day Players" that included people they owed money too to cover their debts.
The Director agreed to make the movie "in consideration" for signing a Quit Claim on another script that Randall Emmett had stolen and sold to STARZ as a Television Series.
Frank Grillo admitted he only took this job for the money, which he used for his garden.
