The movie was released in the US during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and did reasonably well considering it was only released in a handful of drive-in movie theatres.

• BBFC age rating: 15
• Release date: 25th September 2020
• Reason for certificate: strong language
• Official runtime: 99 minutes (1 hour and 39 minutes)
