Trivia
Jimeoin entertained the extras with jokes and such during breaks in filming, often staying on set until 4am despite not being needed in any scenes. On the final night of filming, Jimeoin made sure he met every extra and gave them a personal autograph.

Crazy credits
The names of every extra appearing in the movie are credited first. Unfortunately, the text is so small, it is impossible to identify them.

Jimeoin is a known plagiarist

This production was sued due to his plagiarism. He stole the idea from the Darren Ashton directed short film THE EXTRA. He was in fact encouraged by Village Roadshow at the time to collaborate with Ashton but he deftly just pinched an original idea and nicked it. Why would you watch a stand-up who plagiarises others' good work and denies the originator their dues ? All creative people work hard and to have some half unfunny twit think he can steal others' ideas is anathema. Skip this and skip all his work. Sneaky sneaky little Plagiarist. You'd do well to pass this on for perpetuity. Mind you he's not as bad as Gervais.
