  • Executive Meddling: United Artists cut seven minutes of film showing British fascist leader Colin Jordan espousing his views. It took over thirty years for Kevin Brownlow to regain the rights to the film so it could be released as originally intended.
  • No Budget: The reason why the movie took so long to make. The Internet Movie Database estimates the total budget as $20,000. The cast was filled with amateurs or professionals working for free. Stanley Kubrick donated film stock left over from Dr. Strangelove. Gill and Brownlow borrowed equipment. Colin Jordan and the other real-life British fascists got their controversial parts in the movie because Gill and Brownlow couldn't afford to pay actors.
