1 | * AmateurCast: The other actors were Jimmy Bennett's friends who he asked to take part. |
2 | * TheCastShowoff: Jimmy Bennett is an actual martial artist with a black belt in Kendo Karate and training in Jiujitsu, Boxing, Kali, Judo and Muay Thai. The film is mostly an excuse for him to show off his skills. |
3 | * ColbertBump: Strangely enough, a pro wrestling Youtube series called OSW Review has spread the word significantly on this movie; the three individuals behind OSW are Irish, and they love the movie dearly despite its poor quality. In fact, despite having a mostly American audience, their full review of ''Fatal Deviation'' won their year-end award for best video, and they have a watchalong of the movie every St. Patrick's Day on their Twitch channel. |
4 | * CreatorBacklash: |
5 | ** For Mikey Graham anyway. For a member of a band like Boyzone, who have a collective career load of {{Old Shame}}s, this is really saying something. Apparently, he appeared in this movie as a favour for a friend. |
6 | ** Jimmy Bennett cheerfully admits that he had no idea what he was doing, and the film is "so bad it's good". |
7 | * TheDanza: Pretty much the entire cast. Justified in that none of them had ever acted before and would probably have difficulty responding to other names. |
8 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For years, getting a full working copy of this movie was damn near impossible. The film really only gained its cult popularity after Colin Murphy reviewed it on ''Series/TheBlizzardOfOdd''. |
9 | * NoBudget: This movie cost £8900 to make. The thing that sums up the lack of budget is that they couldn't even fork out for a credit card for a scene involving cutting up cocaine, so they used a loyalty card from a supermarket instead. |
10 | * SerendipityWritesThePlot: Jimmy Bennett became aware that Hong Kong producers wanted to work with him, so he made the film as essentially one long audition tape. |
11 | * ThrowItIn: The car crash in the climax was unscripted; Bennett flipped the car over while turning on a dirt road. Him and the director rolled with it and added a scene where the car explodes. |
