The moonshine that Popcorn Sutton made in the film was given away to his friends so he would not break the law by selling it.
The still used in the film was removed from the location and permanently mounted to the back of Popcorn Sutton's A-Model truck, which he continued to drive for several years.
Popcorn Sutton went on to make moonshine liquor in a traditional way at special exhibitions at the Museum of Appalachia and Pigeon Forge.
The soundtrack features performances by Bluegrass Hall-of-Fame inductee Raymond Fairchild.
