Trivia:

Director (Gary J. Tunnicliffe) wanted to use his knowledge and love of martial arts to create an amazing fight sequence in the movie, but knew that to do this and still maintain a G rating might be hard. To solve the problem he created a 2 and half minute 'Ninja Pillow Fight' and called upon some of his 'industry friends' (who can only be described as a group of 'Martial Arts/Stunts Masters and Legends') to choreograph and perform what is being described as one of the funniest, stylish and 'fluffiest' action sequences ever captured on film.
