* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: The first film has a scene where a child intimidates Eoin as soon as he arrives. Jordan Lennon jokes that they knocked on a bunch of doors to find a child to do the scene, and bribed him with sweets to say yes. The child struggled to do the simple stunt of walking up to Eoin and kicking his suitcase, but his mother then suggested he just run off with the bag instead.
Added DiffLines:
** A planned sequence would have Eoin unknowingly buying cocaine, snorting it and going mad at the party - interrupting an AlmostKiss between Jake and Lauren. Greg Young had to leave early, so the scene had to be scrapped.

* EnforcedMethodActing:
** When filming the opening scene of Jake cycling to school, the cameraman was in the backseat of a car driving in front. Jordan expected the car to stop at intervals to allow him to rest. It didn't, so he was legitimately cycling as fast as he could to catch up - which made it look like Jake was in a rush to get to school. The next scene of him arriving was shot after that, and Jordan was genuinely out of breath when stumbling through the door.
** Greg Young, Adam Douglas and Liam Gaynor stayed in Jordan Lennon's house for a night because they had an early start the next day. This helped them bond and convincingly play friends who'd known each other for years.
* HeAlsoDid: Prior to this, Jordan Lennon also filmed some scenes for ''[[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5932728/ The Professor & the Madman]]'' - a film with an infamously TroubledProduction - playing the teenage version of Creator/SeanPenn. His scenes were [[DeletedRole cut]], and ExecutiveMeddling resulted in star Creator/MelGibson and director Farhad Safina refusing to promote it (Farhad was even credited under the pseudonym PB Shemran).
