What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot entirely in Budapest.
- The film's working title was "The Velvet Side of Hell". When Sony acquired the distribution rights, it was renamed "8 Millimeters 2". Although this title suggests it is a sequel to the film "8 Millimeters", the plot contains nothing that connects it to the original film.
