During a long English summer in the early 1980s, two schoolboys from differing backgrounds set out to make a film inspired by First Blood (1982).
Several instances of CG modification during post production are pointed out in the DVD commentary. At 1:17, 86:49, and 90:23 in the theater, both the SMOKING and NO SMOKING signs were added. At 43:48 where Lee Carter pinches the Guide Dogs for the Blind statue, "OPEN 5 DAYS A WEEK" was added on the store marque. At 57:29 the sign "Sixth Form Common Room" was added. At 58:00 the clock in the school clock tower showed the wrong time for the scene, so it was changed.
Brethren Leader:
Brother William, would you like to read today?
Will:
"O God, our Heavenly Father, who has commanded us to love one another as thy children."
When Carter is waiting at a gate, the cow behind him has a yellow id tag in its left ear. ID tags for cows were introduced in the 1990s, after the BSE (Mad Cow) crisis.
Mack is listed last among the "Special Thanks To" names and refers to a dog mentioned at 94:45 on the DVD commentary.
