Trivia: There are 15 entries in the trivia list - like these:
Director Peter Jackson shot the film on weekends over a four-year period with friends playing the lead roles. Jackson funded most of the film himself until towards the end of the shoot when the New Zealand Film Commission gave him money to finish his project after being impressed with what he'd already produced. There was never a script for the movie; each scene was filmed from ideas the director had come up with during the week.
One of the actors hadn't shaved. For continuity, he couldn't shave until the movie was completely shot.
All the dialogue in the film was dubbed in post-production. This was for two reasons: A) Part of the footage had no sound with it, since it had been filmed on Peter Jackson's own 16mm camera which didn't support sound recording, and B) Once the New Zealand Film Commission funded the remainder of the film Jackson hired a sound camera, however none of them were very skilled with sound recording and most of the dialogue was unusable.
