Shooting was momentarily halted when the Los Angeles Police Department arrived by foot, car, and helicopter due to a concerned citizen mistaking actors with prop weapons for gang members battling in the streets. Lead zombie Timothy Muskatell was run over by a car while heading to set on his scooter resulting in a dislocated shoulder. This resulted in having director, Sean Cain having to substitute for him for two shooting days.
Poster
The film poster is peculiar in that it depicts, left to right, lead actors Andy Hopper, Nadine Stenovitch, and Frank Forcinito, who portray the film's three main characters, while at the same time highlighting the names of actors who play secondary roles but are better known: Vernon Wells for his roles in Mad Max 2 and Commando, Felissa Rose for the horror Sleepaway Camp, and Lew Temple for his time on The Walking Dead.
