ā¢ The film was the first local feature to gross more than NZ$1 million in its opening weekend at the New Zealand box office.
ā¢ The Huia bird that is "spotted" by Rickey and Hec in the movie is a real species of New Zealand wattle bird. The last confirmed sighting of the bird was in 1907, but there were some credible sightings in the early 1960s. It is believed to be extinct.
ā¢ One part of the chase scene with the red Toyota Hilux copies a 1980's New Zealand TV commercial for the Toyota Hilux (Crumpy and Scotty) shot for shot.
