The film was inspired by the TV show
Drive In, a popular 2-hour show of the 1980s. A few of the characters were actually lifted from the show:
Sergio Vastano and
Enzo Rbaschi reprised their roles. Other roles were created for the film, using actors from the TV show -
Carlo Pistarino became a delivery boy, the
Trettré were the owner and two workers at the fast food, and
Susanna Messaggio (the only actress who was not part of
Drive In) became an acting-obsessed waitress. The role of Missile is played by
Matteo Molinari, who was one of the writers on
Drive In. He subsequently co-wrote the widely successful book series "
Anche le Formiche nel Loro Piccolo S'Incazzano" as well as the American-based series "
Oops! Movie Mistakes that Made the Cut", books about movie bloopers. During production,
Carlo Pistarino had an accident with the vehicle that was used by his character to deliver food, and the actor came out unharmed after flipping over his 3-wheel car. ==Release==
