Acko and co (the "bad guys") drive a series of cars made by Ford, while Wozza, Craig and Deidre (the "good guys") drive cars made by Holden. In reality, Ford and Holden are traditional rivals in the car industry and motor racing scene in Australia.
Acko's prized purple XA Falcon that Jimmy borrows is actually director Gregor Jordan's own car. Comedian Merrick Watts bought the car and owned it until 2011, when he sold it at auction.
When Jimmy is about to head into the Star Hotel to meet Alex, there is a sign promoting a $10,000 prize. This one of many ironic 'outs' for Jimmy throughout the film.
When they dump car thief who stole Acko's XA Falcon into the ocean, the engine block that they chain him to for ballast, is a "Holden Red"/"186". The very next camera shot is the front yard full of classic Holdens, with the "186" letterbox in the foreground.
Actor and voice-over artist Richard Carter provides the uncredited voice of The Man (Steven Vidler), Jimmy's Brother in the film.
