In August 2021, Born Into Mafia was one of three films featured on an episode of the YouTube series Best of the Worst (2013).
In an interview with Delirium Magazine, Director Paul Dunlop explained that the use of slow motion during the fight scenes was a homage to 1970s exploitation classic Thriller: A Cruel Picture. He also went on to add that they cut additional footage out to allow for the slow motion sequences. But, when they submitted the finished film to the distributor, they were told the runtime was too short, so they had to hastily extend the end of the film with a montage sequence.
