Background and delays
editThe project was announced in 2004 but has been pushed back by other projects including Viva La Bam, Jackass Number Two and Dreamseller. It has been confirmed that Minghags is a loose sequel to the 2003 film, Haggard. Minghags was set to be released on Valentine's Day 2008, but was delayed yet again by technical and legal issues.[citation needed]
A piece on UGO.com listed the movie to be a Warner Bros. release and was to start production in March 2005.[1]
"Scene 2: Bam's finished his first screenplay for Warner Bros., Kiss a Good Man's Ass, which begins shooting in March. That sets up what we're guessing will be the biggest scramble for bootleg dailies since Attack of the Clones."
An interview with Bam Margera in 2005 suggested the movie would follow.[2] However, a later interview with Suicide Girls confirmed that Margera had either moved away from Warner Bros. or the information was never true.[3]
"Then I have some meetings about this movie called Kiss a Good Man's Ass. We've been talking to this company called Radar Pictures. We've been rewriting it because we want to change little things about it. So we just finished the final script and we're all going to read it today and see if anybody wants to make any last minute changes. It's about a kid who invents this garbage juicer which basically mashes trash and out comes delicious root beer, kerosene or rat piss. You can choose which one you want to come out. A businessman sees the invention and totally claims it as his own. The young kid spends the whole rest of time getting it back."
During filming at Don Vito's home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, aircraft, cars, and a gun festival interrupted the shoot, as did children who gathered around the set when school let out. This led to several re-shoots. On one occasion when a car drove past, Margera was furious and started shouting profanity at the driver as he drove past.[4]
In August 2008, the official Minghags website came online.
During the production of the movie cast member Ryan Dunn approached former CKY crew member Raab Himself to appear in the film, however, he declined the offer.[5]
The film was the final appearance of Vincent Margera as Don Vito before his death in 2015. As per a court sentence issued in 2007, he was ordered to not portray his character or make any media appearances for 10 years.
Premise
editThe storyline in Minghags is built around the Garbage Juicer, which was featured in the "Invention of the Future" contest in Haggard: The Movie.
"A guy who invented this thing called the garbage juicer. You can take garbage and mash it into the trash can, and it has three spouts. You can choose delicious root beer, grapefruit juice or kerosene. This businessman steals the invention from him so the guy spends the whole time trying to dick the businessman over."
