The original actor who was to play the character Ramon failed to provide his contact information to the casting crew. Out of desperation, the crew decided to post the actor's audition video online and posted flyers around downtown Tucson with the hopes of drawing him in. The actor was later dropped due to lack of contact.
Although Lou Pimber and Roberto Diaz are the major stars in the film, they never actually met on set. Both actors shot all their footage on consecutive Saturdays: Diaz shot all his footage on the first shooting day and the following weekend Pimber shot his.
Lou Pimber was hired the night before filming. By morning, the entire crew was surprised to see that he was well prepared for shooting and many of his shots as Ramon were exactly as portrayed in the original script.
Mark Arvizu was the only actor to show up on set to play the coyote character. Originally there were two coyotes in the film. His pistol in the film was functioning Glock 23 but no ammunition was present on set, and for safety reasons, Lou Pimber checked the pistol before each filming session.
Steve McKee's character El Guapo (El Americano AKA The American) was originally for a Spanish speaking actor. Steve is the only character in the film that speaks English.
