* OnSetInjury: While filming the part where he catches the old bowl in the air, Sean Astin ended up slipping and getting a large cut into his forehead. It thankfully ended up being a minor injury, but in some scenes you can still make out a tiny scar where his cut was (right above his left eye).

* ColbertBump: This movie experienced an uptick of attention in late 2022/early 2023 as a result of the awards attention Creator/BrendanFraser and Creator/KeHuyQuan received for, respectively, ''Film/TheWhale'' and ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce''. That both actors appeared in this movie, had long, hard roads to get to that kind of critical acclaim, and have been openly overjoyed at each other's success has been a special kind of heartwarming.
