Director Taika Waititi was less than a week away from filming when he realised the boy he had as lead wasn't working out. Three days before filming began, James Rolleston, who was hanging around on set as an extra, was given the lead by Taika Waititi.
As of May 2018 it is the highest grossing New Zealand film in New Zealand.
Due to the films success in New Zealand, the song "Poi E", originally released in 1984, re-entered the New Zealand charts and reached number 3 on May 24 2010. It is the only New Zealand song to chart over three decades.
During the imagined 'prison escape' of Boy's father, Alamein, Alamein is seen throwing a spoon into a prison officer's eye. The prison officer is played by Stu Rutherford, who takes a bigger role in writer-director Taika Waititi's next film, "What We Do In The Shadows", playing the friend of vampire Nick, who the other vampires take a shine to and soon consider a close friend.
Based on the 2004 short film by Taika Waititi Two Cars, One Night.
"Mr. Langston: People call me a dumb honky all the time. I don't go round punching them. Boy: Why not? Mr. Langston: Because they're usually children."
"Boy: I don't remember you! You weren't there! You weren't there when he was born! You weren't there when she died! Where were you?"
