Producer J.R. Bookwalter said he and director/star William Shatner had some "pretty gnarly spats" during production. Shatner was frustrated by the low budget and not used to working Full Moon style (i.e. get in, get out, move on ASAP and don't expect much from craft service). Bookwalter had to tow the line between what Shatner wanted to see on screen and keeping the bills paid, which is what led to their disagreements. He said, "Shatner and I both wanted what was best for the movie, sometimes at the expense of being friendly to each other. That just goes with the territory." Despite this, Shatner did go on to host the Full Moon-produced Full Moon's Fright Night on the Sci-Fi Channel.
