* NoBudget: A somewhat zig-zagged example, as the film ultimately had a $1M total budget, which is rather more than usual for an Australian indie film with no studio or government backing. However, that money came almost entirely out of the Spierig brothers' own pockets, involving numerous loans and credit cards, and a huge amount of cost-cutting measures were implemented (such as the example below regarding the sets). The brothers did the VFX work themselves (on regular consumer systems, no less), which saved a huge chunk, and called in numerous favours to help get the film finished.

The brothers did the VFX work themselves (on regular consumer systems, no less), which saved a huge chunk, and called in numerous favours to help get the film finished. Additionally, the film had a very fast production schedule, with no more than one or two takes of each scene being filmed. This reached its apex with the crash scene involving the aforementioned van; because it was the only van they had, they shot the crash at the very end of production and literally had ''one chance'' to get it right, as there was no money to do it again.

** Wayne's reaction to Marion drawing his pistols in the hardware store fight was an ad-lib by the actor. Initially, the directors didn't want to keep the line but relented after seeing the massive laugh it got from the test screening audience.
