When filming began, Martin's sidekick was replaced, Adrian was dismissed from the crew and replaced by an Australian actor named Leder.
The studio scenes were primarily shot at Warner Roadshow Studios, while the outdoor scenes were set in an abandoned town west of Brisbane, where sets were constructed.
The crew publicly claimed they built a brand-new town for on-location shooting, using wax products to create a one-to-one scale wax museum, with all figures carefully crafted by masters.
But in reality, only four actual human wax figures were made.
Like every Hollywood crew, once shooting wrapped, all these would be dismantled and disposed of as trash.
As for the real reasons, no one in the crew, including the actors, would offer an extra word about it.
Near the riverbed where the outdoor town was located, several large trailers were parked.
With preparations complete, filming began immediately following the director's command.
