Background
Brian Trenchard-Smith says the script was originally set in Melbourne but he persuaded them to re-set it in Sydney. He set it on the northern beaches and wrote action sequences based on "my concept for the BMX action being putting BMX bikes where BMX bikes aren’t meant to be." Trenchard-Smith: I wanted to capture the spirit of the Ealing comedies and British films of the ‘50s and ‘60s that were clearly aimed at children and delivered action and fun in a largely cartoonish way."
