Ramon Renier (The Naked Poker Player) was actually asked to play the roll of Mike.
There was no script at all just a few tag-lines.
Jay Koningsverdraag got the part of Mike after coincidentally meeting Elwin Rijken in a bus.
Both Johan Aders and Rudi van der Steen were injured during the making of this movie. Both suffered a brain concussion and Aders ruptured his right hamstrings, which was painful for six months. These and other incidents can be viewed on the blooper reel, on the DVD version.
Two celebrities had guest parts. One was Bob Schrijber; a Dutch professional fighter and Johan Vlemmikx, a Dutch entertainer; fan of the royal family and maker of television programs.
Various of the extras were friends and family of the B-Pro Stunt Team members.
Various of the fights, scenes and lines were improvised.
While filming the final fight between T.J. and Mike, Kim Haagen (Kira) became ill and couldn't play her role. Jay Koningsverdraag (Mike) had brought a friend to the set that day. This woman was Agnetha Buis, who instantly became Kira's stand-in.
Trademark: most cast members have multiple small roles.
The director Elwin Rijken, only used one camera. So for each angle a scene had to be shot again, which was an exhausting process for him and the actors.
Johan Aders had to grow long hair for this movie. For the duration for the shooting he wasn't allowed to cut it short, which almost created a problem at his work as a therapist at that time.
