Daniel Pollock, who plays Davey, committed suicide before the film's release.
The character of Hando was originally written for Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn. However, Mendelsohn did not look menacing when his head was shaved, whereas Russell Crowe had shaved his head, gotten into character, and had been persistently contacting Geoffrey Wright to reconsider his casting decision. When Wright decided Mendelsohn didn't have the look, the role went to Crowe.
In the early print of the film at the Toronto International Film Festival the sex scene with Daniel Pollock and Jacqueline McKenzie was even longer and more graphic than in any subsequent DVD release. There were very few edits, just one long sex scene that was obviously unsimulated as you could see insertion. In the DVD's commentary track, director Geoffrey Wright too confirmed that some of the sex onscreen was real.
When smashing the display glass in the mall scene, the actor Daniel Pollock did actually cut himself.
Premiere voted this movie as one of "The 25 Most Dangerous Movies."
"Hando: [from behind Martin] Haaa! [Martin spins around startled] Hando: Nice place you got here. Martin: Who the hell are you? Sonny Jim: We came to wreck everything, and ruin your life. God sent us."
"Gabe: [referring to the NAZI paraphernalia that adores Hando's room] Why do you have all this stuff? Hando: Because I don't want to be a white cooly in my own country. 'Cause it's not our country anymore. 'Cause rich people, and powerful people brought in boat loads of human trash. Cheap labour, gooks mainly, and there's gonna be more. I want people to know I'm proud of my white history and white blood. One day it might be all I have. I don't want to go the same way as the fuckin' Abo. See that map? [map on the wall has areas coloured in red] Hando: That's all the gook properties on Barkley Street. A few years ago it was a white area. [picks up a book] Hando: Mein Kampf. Do you know it? Gabe: It's about war isn't it? Hando: This book was written by Adolf Hitler. It turned into a joke by other people who don't want to know Hitler's view of the world. It's simply about, the ongoing struggle of the white race and the enemies it faces. You don't know who the enemy is, you can't win the war. Listen. "All the noble cultures of the past declined, because the purity and vigour of the originally created race faded out. They were compromised by the seed of lesser races that were attracted to the works of the superior men. The undeniable reason for their decline was then due to a kind of racial blood poisoning. Racial blood must be perserved in its purity at all costs.""
