During the filming of a scene that involved guns, the actors were pulled over and held at gunpoint by police who mistook them for people who had actually robbed a bank not far from where they were filming. After realizing that it was a big misunderstanding, the police and the film team all had a good laugh about it.
When Ike (Patrick John Flueger) takes Beth (Jaime King) to the ATM, the name Wichita Bank is visible. The film was inspired by a real crime that happened in Wichita, Kansas: Two brothers broke into a home, only to be surprised by the owner, his girlfriend, and their friends. The brothers robbed, raped, and tortured the victims before murdering all except one.
Screenwriter Scott Milam's horror/thriller spec script Wichita was "reworked" to become the Mother's Day (2010) "remake".
Briana Evigan and Matt O'Leary were in another remake together: Sorority Row (2009). Jaime King has starred in the remakes of My Bloody Valentine and Silent Night. Kandyse McClure also appeared in the TV remakes of Carrie and Children of the Corn.
