What's left behind the scenes
- The film was intended to be an experimental interactive project involving the audience, combining its production with a talent search project similar to American Idol. Aspiring screenwriters were given a short text, based on which they were to write a script and send it to Paul Verhoeven. The director received 35,000 script versions and rejected them all. In the end, the script was written by a professional screenwriter, and professional actors starred in the film, although the original plan was to involve newcomers to acting.
- Director Paul Verhoeven chose the title "Bamboozle" from 3,400 options suggested by the audience.
