Background and Trivia

• The movie's budget of ¥500,000,000 was considered a selling point at the time of the film's release, even being mentioned in the movie's trailer.
• The counterfiet money in the movie is noted as "Goth Bills" (ゴート札 - Goto Satsu), or "Gothic Bills". However, the Japanese word ゴート can be used for either goat or goth. As a result, early US versions of the movie opted for the goat variant. This is not just in subtitle tracks, but in dubbed tracks as well. It wasn't until Discotek's 2015 release that the Gothic variant was used.
