Haggard Movie Trivia
- Bam Margera's character is called "Valo" and was named after Ville Valo, the lead singer of European rock band H.I.M. (for whom Margera has directed numerous music videos).
- The band 'Gnar Kill' is actually CKY in disguise with Brandon DiCamillo doing vocals.
- Don Vito didn't read the script for the movie. Instead, director Bam Margera simply coached Vito on how he wanted him to interact with the other characters before each scene was shot. Hence, all of Vito's reactions are real.
- The police department logo on the side of the cop's car reads "Hawk P.D.", a reference to Tony Hawk, who plays the police officer.
- Shortly after filming the scene where Raab Himself tells Falcone that he has 3 Ds and an F in college, Chris Raab actually did get 3 D's and an F in college.
- The film was supposed to be mostly have been shot on Super 16mm film with a Arriflex Super 16 camera. Unfortunately due to a unfixed fault with the camera most of the film footage when developed turned out to be jumping or was completely ruined. Such as the H.I.M Heartache video, the Officer Tony Hawk scene and the fight scene in Record Bin. Archive footage appeared to have been used within the HIM video instead and the Officer Tony Hawk scene was re-shot digitally. The viewer will notice the difference between parts that were shot on film roll and a digital format (Digital BetaCam) throughout the film due to color correction.
- It cost Bam $13,000 dollars to fly H.I.M. to the United States and perform a live show. The footage turned out to be messed up after that.
