During the making of a scene in the film that involved guns, the actors were pulled over and held at gunpoint by the police,
who mistook them for people who had actually robbed a bank not far from where they were shooting the scene. After realizing
that it was all a big misunderstanding, the police and the film crew both had a good laugh over their mistake.
When Ike (Patrick John Flueger) takes Beth (Jaime King) to the ATM in order to rob it, the name "Wichita Bank" is visible. The film was inspired by a real life crime that happened in Wichita, Kansas in December 2000: two brothers broke into a home, only to be surprised by the owner, his girlfriend, and their friends. The brothers robbed, raped, and tortured the victims before murdering all of them except one.
Screenwriter Scott Milam's horror/thriller script "Wichita" was "reworked" to become the Mother's Day (2010) "remake".
