Production

Bikini Bandits was produced as part of The Arcadia Project, a viral marketing project by Quaker City Mercantile named after Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project. The film was produced as a satirical commentary on the representation of women in advertising.

The feature-length film was based on a web series of the same name which was released on Atom Films. Steven Grasse began writing the Bikini Bandits series in 1999 with the help of his brother, Peter Grasse. The series, which focused on a group of scantily clad female bandits, developed an underground following. According to IGN, the French government helped to fund the Bikini Bandit's production.

Keenan, a fan of the webseries, contacted Grasse to direct a music video for A Perfect Circle. After discussing the Bikini Bandits with Grasse, he agreed to star in the film as Satan. The film's soundtrack features original music written by Ramone, as well as tracks by post-rock band Trans Am and Peaches.
