This faux-trailer only screened with Grindhouse in select theatres (mainly in Canada) and the only trailer that selected through a contest (Winner of Robert Rodriguez's South by Southwest Grindhouse trailers contest).

The B-action subgenre features lower budgets, simpler plots, and lower production values compared to bigger budget mainstream action titles. Originally used in a derogatory manner, the subgenre has evolved to describe a specific type of filmmaking with its own unique charm and appeal. The "B" designation originally referred to the second feature in a double feature presentation, with the "A" film being the main attraction. Over time, "B-movies" became associated with low-budget and less prestigious productions.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
