Director and writer David Hayter came up with the idea of the film after turning down similar projects. His script was originally titled "Slaughter's Road".
According to David Hayter, the unrated version is his cut.
In one scene a license plate reads "VICBOSS" in reference to Big Boss from the Metal Gear Solid series who was voiced by Director David Hayter.
An unfinished private screening was held in June of 2013, in Los Angeles.
