* NightmareFuel: The kangaroo hunting scene, where scenes of the actors are intercut with footage of a real-life hunt, meaning the animals are being killed for real. The behind-the-scenes details are equally horrifying - while the hunters the filmmakers hired were professionals, they were also heavily intoxicated, which affected their aim with gruesome results. This took a considerable emotional toll on the film crew, eventually leading them to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere sabotage the shoot]] by cutting power to the lighting.

* HarsherInHindsight: The soundtrack features contributions by Rolf Harris, at the time a beloved and seemingly friendly, avuncular entertainer and icon of Australian culture, but since revealed to be a sexual deviant.
