The script called for the film to end with a dramatic flick knife/cello battle between Mandy and Linda atop Heuston train station, Dublin. Unfortunately financial constraints made this impossible. It was decided that the budget originally allocated to this scene should instead be spent on professionally created MySpace pages for each of the characters.
The exactly 90 minute run time was a result of the entire film being shot on one MiniDV cassette set to Long Play mode. The final shot of Mandy walking away from the house was meant to be shorter in duration, but as there was tape left it was decided to make the shot much, much longer than initially planned.
The original edit of the film featured a soundtrack entirely comprised of songs by The Specials and early-mid '70s David Bowie. Pure Grass Productions, the film's distributor, had to step in and insist on an edit without these songs. The producer of the film had been entirely unaware that financial compensation would be required to use such copyright material, citing "well I hear it on the radio for free all the time, like".
