    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The movie was shot in 2002 using the Canon XL1 camera (standard definition) with Zeiss prime lenses. RatPack Productions also decided to use this movie as a launching pad for a new prototype device called the PNS, which had a spinning prism meant to give the image a more diffuse film look. The device often created sound problems on set and sometimes didn't work at all. It would rob the camera of light and quality and was considered a major mistake to use by the production crew, but RatPack insisted on it.
    • Quotes
      • Brunette Cop: [while "Violent Shit 3" is playing in the theatre] Look at this violent shit!
      • Blonde Cop: I don't know, not really in the best taste for tonight isn't it?
      • Brunette Cop: You've got that right, I hate this stuff.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor was required to reduce images of sexualised violence during a fatal attack in order to obtain an 18 classification and in accordance with BBFC policy and VRA 1984. An uncut classification was not available.
