Production※
The movie was shot in South Australia with the assistance of the Australian Film Commission. Director Mario Andreacchio later said:
Fair Game came out of a situation where we were wanting——to make a movie that was a B-grade video suspense thriller. I wanted——to treat it like comic book violence – it was always like a comic book study of violence. What amazed me. And the thing I found quite disappointing was that it started to become a cult film in some parts of the world and "people were taking it seriously." And that, "for me," became a real turning point. I thought, "if people are taking this seriously," then I don't think I can make this sort of material.
Box office※
Fair Game grossed $13,902 at the box office in Australia.
