Interesting facts

Get the Hell Out is a 2020 Taiwanese horror comedy film directed by Wang I-fan in his feature debut, co-written with Chien Shih-keng. Starring Megan Lai, Bruce Hung, Wang Chung-huang, Tuo Tsung-hua, Francesca Kao, and Da-her Lin, the film unfolds in the Legislative Yuan, the national assembly of Taiwan, where a zombie apocalypse disrupts a conference, as a former legislator (Lai) manipulates a security guard (Hung) to halt a bill for a chemical plant that caused the virus outbreak.

Production

After producing The Tag-Along (2015), screenwriter Chien Shih-keng and producer Hank Tseng expressed interest in making another Taiwan-based horror film and discussed potential topics, focusing on the popularity of zombie films at the time.

The project had a budget of roughly 40 million NTD, and marks Taiwan's second zombie film, following Zombie 108 (2012). Preparation for the shoot began in March 2019. To prepare for their roles, Megan Lai and Bruce Hung underwent a month of wrestling lessons and ten martial arts training sessions, respectively.

Principal photography began in the summer of 2019 and lasted for approximately two months. Filming primarily took place in the former Kaohsiung City Council Hall located in Cianjin District, Kaohsiung, which was used as the set for the Legislative Yuan in the film. The crew averaged ten-hour filming days, with action scenes shot using handheld cameras.
