* AuthorPhobia: James [=DeMonaco=] has a deep fear of firearms, and channeled that fear into the movie, stating that traditional villains are much less scary now that random people carrying guns can cause a massacre everywhere.
* CreatorBacklash: James [=DeMonaco=] didn't think that the boyfriend subplot meshed with the story.
* FakeAmerican:
** Mary is played by the English Creator/LenaHeadey.
** Along with Zoey, who's played by the Australian Creator/AdelaideKane.
** The gang leader is played by Australian Rhys Wakefield.
* ExecutiveVeto: Originally, the daughter was trying to kill the father. The studio refused to allow it, so it was changed to boyfriend attempting to kill the father.
* FanNickname: Due to an {{accidental misnaming}} by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, the Polite Leader is often called "Henry" by both fans and detractors.
* InspirationForTheWork: James [=DeMonaco=] got the idea for the film from a road-rage incident. He and his wife were driving on the freeway when a drunk driver cut them off nearly killing them. After both cars stopped, the other driver's lack of remorse enraged [=DeMonaco=] enough to engage in a fistfight and police eventually had to get involved. After the incident was over, [=DeMonaco=]'s wife turned to him and commented how great it would be to have one free murder a year. He felt bad admitting this because she's normally a "sweet woman".
* MissingTrailerScene: In the trailer, James scolds Charlie for letting the stranger into their home by saying: "Why did you let him into our home? We have no idea who's after him". This line does not appear in the film.
* NoBudget: The film was made on a budget of $3 million.
* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The Finnish drama ''Film/{{Puhdistus}}'' (2012), about life in Soviet-occupied Estonia, was released as ''The Purge'' in the UK, and as ''Purge'' in the USA.
* ViralMarketing: The websites for the [[http://www.newfoundersamerica.org/ New Founding Fathers of America]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[spoiler: The gang was originally supposed to get into the house by tunneling, but this was vetoed by one of the producers as too improbable. This is mentioned in the film by James as one of the possible ways to bypass the security system]]
