Anecdotes
Director Taika Waititi was less than a week away from filming when he realised the boy he had as lead wasn't working out. Three days before filming began, James Rolleston, who was hanging around on set as an extra, was given the lead by Taika Waititi.

Gaffes
The Goodnight Kiwi that was shown on the TV during Shutdown was the incorrect version for the period. The film used the early 1990's version with the TV2 logo at the bottom at the end. In 1984, it should have ended with the message "Goodnight from Television New Zealand".

Citations
Mr. Langston: People call me a dumb honky all the time. I don't go round punching them.
Boy: Why not?
Mr. Langston: Because they're usually children.

Crédits fous
The credits start with the names and roles of the three main actors and this is followed by a spoof of Michael Jackson's "Thriller", incorporating elements of the original dance (as seen on the music video) and Maori Hakas.

Boy is the Man

"Boy" is a light, feel-good movie about a boy who was called Boy (James Rolleston). He told fanciful stories, otherwise known as lies, about himself and his father, Alamein (Taika Waititi). The movie takes place in 1984 when Michael Jackson was at his peak fame, and Boy was his number one fan (at least in New Zealand). When his father came home from prison to search for his hidden loot, Boy wanted nothing more than to hang out with him. Alamein hadn't matured at all in prison, and he returned as a terrible influence on his son.

"Boy" is funny and easy to watch. There are very few adults in the film which allows you to experience life in New Zealand through the eyes of the indigenous children. Boy is an especially interesting character which makes the entire movie interesting.
