In a behind-the-scenes featurette, Begos and Roth lift the curtain on what can only be described as an unhinged production. Begos operated chainsaws on blood-slick floors and built rigging systems in his closet rafters, proving that Jimmy and Stiggs is horror built with sweat, sinew, and supreme chaos.
Roth was immediately transfixed. “Very few films stop me in my tracks and make me want to tell everyone I know about it. What better way to do that than by releasing it wide in theaters? I was so obsessed I had to speak to the madman behind it, Joe Begos, and when he told me how he committed four years, 50,000 feet of 16mm film, and did all the effects practical, I loved it even more. I haven’t seen a movie like this since the first Evil Dead or Bad Taste.”
