The German DVD is titled "Lost in Toronto"
During location filming on a Toronto street, a woman was arrested for causing a disturbance after the filmmakers called for silence and she refused to stop blowing a whistle.
The majority of the film was shot in Kensington Market on the west side of Toronto's downtown. The filming location for the donut shot where Eddie (Mickey Rourke's character) was killed and the location used as Billy's (Kelly Harms' character) apartment are both on Kensington Avenue directly across the street from each other. Other locations used are College Street and Union Station (the locker scene).
Upon completion of the movie, producer Robert Lantos and director Bruce McDonald felt they had made a distinctly Canadian movie that would finally be the world-wide commercial breakthrough that the Canadian film industry had been aiming to achieve for many years. To their surprise, when the movie was screened to an audience of distributor executives from various parts of the movie, the movie failed to sell due to negative reactions. When the movie's Canadian distributor Alliance-Atlantis learned of this, they decided that the movie would bypass a Canadian theatrical release and be released straight to DVD. McDonald later said that he put the blame on himself for the failure of the movie succeeding, feeling that he screwed up while directing it.
