Director Tim Burstall once said of this film in an interview with Australian film magazine 'Cinema Papers': "Before we started on Le avventure di Eliza Fraser (1976) [the rights to the 'The Last of the Knucklemen' play were obtained]. I thought Hexagon should make a male bonding film, and the three possibilities were Rusty Bugles (1981), The Odd Angry Shot (1979) and The Last of the Knucklemen (1979). We looked at them and felt that 'Knucklemen' was the best...We were delayed in buying the rights, though, because the play had been put on overseas and the Melbourne Theatre Company, which owned the rights, was trying to sell it to the Yanks. Then that fell through and we inherited them".
