The character of Juska Paarma is an alter ego of writer and actor Jussi Parviainen. Before the feature film, Paarma appeared in a trilogy of independent theatre plays: "Diletantti" (premiere in April 6, 1983 at Ylioppilasteatteri), "Jumalan rakastaja" (premiere in February 16, 1984 at Ryhmäteatteri) and "Valtakunta" (premiere in September 18, 1985 at Intimiteatteri). Several actors from the trilogy also appear in the film, including Kari Väänänen who plays the role of Paarma in "Jumalan rakastaja" (actor Keijo Räikkönen plays Paarma in "Diletantti" and Parviainen himself in "Valtakunta").
The film was shot in 10-12 days. Based on Jussi Parviainen, very little dialogue was improvised. There was only a story treatment and no finished script, but Parviainen wrote the dialogue during filming.
The actor Sanna Fransman was cut from the finished version. Her character of Löpö-Leena briefly appears in the theatrical trailer.
In the mid-1970s, Juha Rosma received a scholarship by the Polish Cultural Ministry and worked as an assistant for director Krzysztof Zanussi in A Woman's Decision (1975). Slawomir Idziak later became the cinematographer of "Harmagedon".
