While filming on location, director Harmony Korine and cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier (1950-2003) often had to flee from local residents armed with sawn-off shotguns, who believed they were filming pornography.
Actors for the film were cast during a long period of pre-production. Harmony Korine often offered roles to ordinary people he met in bowling alleys or fast-food restaurants.
Chloe Sevigny was in charge of costumes. She found most of them in thrift stores around Nashville.
To give the image a yellowish tint, fluorescent lamps were used during the filming of the movie, rather than conventional lighting fixtures.
The film's title uses the name of the fifth and least-known of the Marx brothers, who participated in stage productions but did not appear in the films that brought the Marx brothers widespread fame.
Harmony Korine wrote the screenplay from the scripts of around seventy sketches about life in the small town of Xenia, Oregon, a place he himself had never visited.
In the scene where the father and son are arm wrestling, the bottles on the table disappear and reappear.
Harmony Korine wrote the screenplay from scripts of around seventy sketches he had written about life in the backwater town of Xenia, Ohio, a place he himself had never been.
