* BoxOfficeBomb: ''Barely'' averted. Depending on sources, the final profit was anywhere between 100 ''thousand'' dollars to 2 million short of its target. Which with a budget of 100 million still looks bad.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/JerryOConnell took this role because he studied Creator/BrianDePalma movies in film school.



* TroubledProduction: Director Brian De Palma was brought on board after the previous director walked away due to concerns over the lack of additional money for the budget. De Palma indicated that the film needed additional funds and that much of the budget went into the CGI for the film. When De Palma was hired the script had already been written and the film cast. His lack of familiarity of directing science fiction made him disillusioned with Hollywood that he exiled to France, where he made ''[[Film/FemmeFatale2002 Femme Fatale]]''.

* Some of the props and part of the spaceship set are now on the ''Mission: SPACE'' attraction at EPCOT Center in Florida (with the attraction's opening film starring Gary Sinise, to boot).
** Gary's gone with the last refurb, sadly.
* There's a Hidden Mickey (albeit accidental) in the scene where ''Mars II'' shuttle approaches Mars.
