Production
The movie was shot in South Australia with the assistance of the Australian Film Commission. Director Mario Andreacchio later said:
'Fair Game' came out of a situation where we were wanting to make a movie that was a B-grade video suspense thriller. I wanted to treat it like comic book violence it was always like a comic book study of violence. What amazed me and the thing I found quite disappointing was that it started to become a cult film in some parts of the world and people were taking it seriously. And that, for me, became a real turning point. I thought, if people are taking this seriously, then I don't think I can make this sort of material.[http://www.signis.net/malone/tiki-index.php?page=Mario+Andreacchio&bl Interview with Mario Andreacchio' 'Signet' 20 September 1998] Retrieved 14 October 2012
