Production
The film was inspired by the TV show Drive In, a popular two-hour show of the 1980s. 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.
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.
Release Italian Fast Food was released on November 14, 1986 in Rome, Naples, and Ancona.
