Production Details
- In his DVD commentary for this episode, writer/director David Greenwalt says that when he wrote the episode he thought that he had invented a great demon name, Machida. He later realized that he had been inspired by the word Makita, which he had seen written on the drills carried by the show's grips.
- The episode ends with the main villain frat-boy being led away by Angel while Cordelia upbraids him. In the original script, however, Machida emerges from the pit and eats him. This proved impossible for the production crew to do with the CGI of the time. David Greenwalt mentions in the DVD commentary that the CGI problems also ended plans for Machida to be a reoccurring villain.
- Although Cordelia tells Buffy "Don't wear black, silk, Chiffon or spandex: these are my trademarks," Buffy shows up in a little black dress.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or details:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
