What's left behind the scenes

  • At the beginning of filming, director Stephan Elliott took the three lead actors to a gay and transvestite costume party where they went unrecognized. As a result, Guy Pearce began to be rude to those around him, Terence Stamp forgot where he was and started hitting on the girls, and Hugo Weaving got so drunk that he lay under one of the tables for several hours (he only had enough strength to try to tap out the rhythm of the screaming music with his fingers). A similar scene was then included in the script.
  • The bus, on which filming took place while in motion, was so small that the crew simply had nowhere to go and had to remain in the frame, hiding under piles of clothes and other props.
  • Bill Hunter (1940-2011) simultaneously starred in P.J. Hogan's comedy 'Muriel's Wedding' (1994) and this film, with both roles requiring his characters to have beards and hairstyles of varying lengths, and the filming locations being in different parts of the country.
  • According to Terence Stamp, he got into the role by imagining himself as a beautiful woman. However, the director and screenwriter, Stephan Elliott, instructed cinematographer Brian J. Breheny to make Stamp look as bad as possible. Stamp never reviews the footage shot during the day, so he had no idea how he actually looked on screen until the film's premiere. Upon seeing himself at the premiere, he experienced a genuine shock, and Breheny even apologized to him.
  • The scenes with which the film begins and ends were filmed on the same day.
