Production
[edit] |
The film was inspired by the TV show Drive In, a popular two-hour show of the 1980s.[citation needed] A few of the characters were actually lifted from the show: Sergio Vastano and Enzo Rbaschi reprised their roles. Other roles were created for the film, using actors from the TV show - Carlo Pistarino became a delivery boy, the Trettré were the owner and two workers at the fast food, and Susanna Messaggio (the only actress who was not part of Drive In) became an acting-obsessed waitress. The role of Missile is played by Matteo Molinari, who was one of the writers on Drive In. He subsequently co-wrote the widely successful book series "Anche le Formiche nel Loro Piccolo S'Incazzano" as well as the American-based series "Oops! Movie Mistakes that Made the Cut", books about movie bloopers.[citation needed]
During production, Carlo Pistarino had an accident with the vehicle that was used by his character to deliver food, and the actor came out unharmed after flipping over his three-wheel car.[citation needed]
Release
[edit]Italian Fast Food was released on November 14, 1986 in Rome, Naples, and Ancona.[3]
