What's left behind the scenes
- In the car, the guys are watching the romantic comedy 'Neighbor' (2004) starring Emile Hirsch and Elisa Cuthbert, which, like this film, was directed by Luke Greenfield.
- One of the characters is Colonel Kurz, named after the character in Francis Ford Coppola's war drama "Apocalypse Now" (1979), where he was played by Marlon Brando. This character dresses like Richard Crenna's hero in the "Rambo" franchise films, where Crenna played Colonel Trautman.
