Due to the controversial nature of the film, the budget was kept under a million dollars so the studio wouldn't ask to change anything.
On the DVD commentary Patrick Wilson recalled that while filming on the roof, he had to shoot a scene where he yells, "You're not gonna shoot me," five times. After the third or fourth take someone within earshot - not part of the film crew - called the police thinking an actual attack was occurring.
The screenplay's inspiration came from Japan. Producer David Higgins had read reports of Japanese schoolgirls ambushing men who surfed the Internet for underage dates and later developed the story.
Some working titles were "Vendetta" and "Snip Snip." "Hard Candy" was finally chosen because it implies both sweetness and spice--and because it was slang for an underage girl among Internet pedophiles.
Filmed in 18 days.
"Jeff Kohlver: Look. I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in. Hayley Stark: [as if narrating a headline] Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty. [speaking as a defense attorney] Hayley Stark: "Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction." Jeff Kohlver: I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen? Hayley Stark: Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really? Jeff Kohlver: It'll ruin my career, ruin my life. Hayley Stark: Well, didn't Roman Polanski just win an Oscar?"
"Jeff Kohlver: God, who are you? Hayley Stark: It's hard to say for sure. Maybe not a Calabasas girl. Maybe not the daughter of a med school professor. Jeff Kohlver: Maybe not even a friend of Donna Mauer. Hayley Stark: Maybe not even named Hayley. [Jeff sighs and looks around in desperation] Jeff Kohlver: Who the hell are you? Hayley Stark: I am every little girl you ever watched, touched, hurt, screwed, killed."
