Production 
The film started production in 2019   and started shooting in Melbourne in June, 2021 Giannopoulos initially had challenges getting finance for the film as it was turned down for finance by Screen Australia. He has said the Steve character was influenced by a number of real people  "My films are pretty much based on the communities that I grew up in and people I grew up with. The main character in the Wog Boys films, Steve Karamitsis, is a combination of a great number of people I have met over the years." Frank Lotito, who directed, had worked with both Giannopolous and Colosimo on some of their stage shows, and he was given the role after Giannopoulos saw his film Growing Up Smith

The film features a Greek ethnic style house in Reservoir, Melbourne, that the production crew had witnessed for sale in a real estate advertisement. It was granted for use by the vendor before the new owners purchased it. Car 
Steve's car features prominently in the movie. It is a dark blue 1969 VF Valiant hardtop given to him by his father. During the film, it is said that the car's original engine was a 245-cubic-inch (4.0 L) 6-cylinder hemi, which was later replaced with an 8-cylinder engine. The presence of the Valiant in the films has given rise
to the films being called the Blue Valiant Trilogy/The Valiant Trilogy by fans. Cast
