English auteur Peter Strickland operated the camera for a day of shooting on WING HUNT. Strickland and WING HUNT Director Matt Reynolds had met in Bratislava, where Strickland supported himself by teaching English. He was at the time trying to get funding to finish his first feature, Katalin Varga. Several shots he took made it into the film.
In 16 days on the road, Wing Hunt's six official judges and six film crew ate a total of 4,000 wings, which works out to roughly 400,000 calories.
After the Wing-Hunters almost mutinied over sleeping conditions and lack of non-wing meals, producers eased off on the schedule, creating time to sleep in and have a relaxing dinner. The Hunters grilled steak for dinner.
The scorecards used by the Wing-Hunters were developed by esteemed cancer researcher Albert Levin.
WING HUNT contains the only known footage of an eye-witness account of the fateful night in 1964 when Buffalo wings were first served. The eye-witness, Dom Zanghi, was a friend of the family that owned the Anchor Bar.
