The Suckers was filmed in 35 mm over the course of three days, in the Bronson Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills in California. The film's budget is estimated to have been around $30,000, and the crew was reportedly made up of "less than ten" people. According to director Stu Segall, the film was "very cheaply made", with the crew making around $50 a day and the cast members making around $150.

During filming one day, actor Norman Fields swallowed a bee before he was able to finish his scenes. He was taken to a hospital and returned to the set several hours later.
