* CreatorKiller: The film decimated the writing career of Philip Eisner right out of the gates. His next cinematic writing credit didn't come for 11 years, and that movie is his last theatrical credit.

* CastTheExpert: Real life amputees and porn actors were cast in order to make the "blood orgy" visions more realistic.



* ExecutiveMeddling: The film originally ran for about 130 minutes, but Paramount forced director Paul W. S.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original cut of the film was over two hours long and contained levels of gore that would have easily given it an NC-17 rating. Rumor has it that when this cut of the movie was screened for a test audience, some of them fainted while others rushed for the door due to being so disturbed by what they had seen.

** Eisner's initial script contained physical aliens with tentacles. However, Anderson found it too similar to ''Film/{{Alien}}'', so he rewrote it to replace them with an alien consciousness in the ship itself.

** In the original concept of the film, Weir had a smaller role: Miller fought the burning man of his visions instead of him, and Starck didn't hallucinate with Weir upon being rescued (in another version, she would have hallucinated with screams of the dead crew instead).
** Apparently, according to an interview from Anderson, the lost footage of the film was eventually found in 2012 in an [[NoodleIncident abandoned Transylvanian]] [[GrailInTheGarbage salt mine]] (kind of fitting, certainly). Unfortunately, although salt mines are sometimes used for archival storage due to the very dry air they contain (the salt absorbs any moisture), the quality of the found material was so bad it prevents it from ever getting a proper, cleaned-up Blu Ray.
