The film pokes fun at the movies The Fugitive, Volcano, and others.

Trivia

• Most of the scenes were filmed and/or based in Minnesota, with help coming from WCCO-TV Channel 4 and other Minnesotans. Hibbing Goodhue, the character that is killed, is the combination of the city of Hibbing (in the north part of the state) and the county of Goodhue (where Red Wing is located.) Cass Lake is an actual lake and city in North Central Minnesota (Cass County). Lt. Fergus Falls is named after the Minnesota city of Fergus Falls. Sgt. Orono is also named after a Minnesota town, along with Dr. Fridley.
• Ryan Harrison's name is based on Jack Ryan, Harrison Ford's character in Clear and Present Danger, and Harrison Ford himself.
• The picture on the box of the home video is a parody to the cover of The Fugitive.

It was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
