I came up with the idea for this film in 1988 while being terrorized by a couple of 7 year olds in a Laundromat. They started messing with my laundry and sized me up as someone who wouldn’t beat the crap out of them. It took me so long to actually make the film because the idea of working with a cast of youngsters was simply unfathomable…until I got a job working at a daycare center. All of a sudden I had kids unwittingly auditioning for me on a daily basis. Of course I had to work there for several years before I got the guts to ask the parents to entrust their children to me, especially given the foul-mouthed films I had been making to that point. Seeing the kids’ faces as I turned them loose on the boxes of ice cream at the end of part I still stands as a highlight of my life. They were simply going out of their minds.
