James Gunn wrote the screenplay in just two weeks. and the screenplay is what got him every bit of work hes had in Hollywood since. Paget Brewster adds that the film has gotten her no work at all. Gunn specifies that it was the screenplay that led to more work not the actual film.
On the commentary they mention Michael Weatherly (Dark Angel, 2000-2002) who Gunn says was engaged and then not engaged to Jessica Alba. "Oh, thank god," says Brewster. "That broad, ugh." Gunn wonders what that's about saying she's a "nice" woman, but Brewster replies "Have you had dinner with her? If you ever wanna punish yourself for some unforgivable sin, sit down and have dinner with Jessica Alba." She later adds that Weatherly became "a dick when they were dating." This is a great commentary track.
Both Judy Greer and Jamie Kennedy filmed this movie around their Three Kings (1999) schedule.
Rob Lowe taught James Gunn "the extras game" where you identify nameless players by which celebrity they resemble. He went on to use that in his script for Dawn of the Dead (2004) with the guys on the roof top calling out zombies by lookalike name.
Judy Greer was considered for both Deadly Girl and Power Chick. The director felt her talents were needed for the more difficult role of Deadly Girl.
"College Girl: Hey, are you Minuteman? Can we have your autograph? Minute Man: My-noot Man! Do I look like a soldier from the Revolutionary War? I don't think so! Am I wearing a three-cornered hat? No! I turn small. Think! College Girl: Fuck you. [her car pulls away from the curb] College Girl: That costume makes you look gay!"
"Minute Man: [signing an autograph] I'm thinking of changing my name. Deadly Girl: Change it to what? [hisses at the autograph hound, scaring her away] Minute Man: To... 'Small' Deadly Girl: Small-Man? Minute Man: No, just 'Small' Deadly Girl: Well that's pretty stupid. Minute Man: It's better than Mr. Smart. Deadly Girl: It's better than Captain Cuntface too. Minute Man: Whatever."
