The film was shot on location just south of Sydney in Australia. Love scenes between Welch and Thompson were cut, causing Welch to protest. "They just want to make it into pap because they're scared about this, that, everything" said Welch. "I've shot a million love scenes. I've never heard of anything like this.[4]
