* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This film was intended to be in theaters, but a poor test-market run and other issues caused it to be released as a DirectToVideo film. It still holds the record for most expensive direct-to-video movie ever made and released by a major studio.

** Originally, the lead cop was going to be a male character, with the studio eyeing Creator/KurtRussell for the role. When they managed to get Whoopi involved, they rewrote the character.
** The original script was a much grittier, darker sci-fi mystery called ''T-Rex'' that, despite the gimmick of involving dinosaurs, was mostly played straight and had darker comedic elements. When production went underway, the studios stepped in and changed it almost entirely into a family-friendly action comedy. This whole change, among other factors, was one of the reasons why Whoopi wanted to quit.

* ProductionPosse: Much of the crew involved with the puppetry and animatronics would work on ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'', including lead dinosaur creator John Criswell and lead puppeteer Bruce Lanoil. A few years later, puppeteers Kevin Carlson and James Murray would go on to reunite with The Chiodo Brothers (who puppeteered the "Guy in The Bag" character) for ''Series/TheMrPotatoHeadShow''.

* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/WhoopiGoldberg tried to walk away from the movie, but the studio threatened to sue her for breach of contract if she did so. Goldberg decided it would be better to keep her money and go through the filming, not wanting to go into bankruptcy, like Creator/KimBasinger did after walking off ''Film/BoxingHelena''. Unfortunately for Whoopi, if any one movie could be called responsible for [[StarDerailingRole taking her from Oscar-caliber box-office draw to mere game- and talk-show host]], it's this one.

* DirectToVideo: Wasn't intended to be such, but some issues including poor test screenings meant that there wasn't an option but to do so. Although at $33.5 million, it was the most expensive straight to video movie ever made, New Line only spent $5 million. The licensing of the film to foreign distributors covered the rest of the budget, and most, if not all of these distributors opted for a theatrical release; North America was the most notable territory where it didn't happen.
