• Hey, It's That Guy!: Molly is played by Meg Foster from Blind Fury and The Osterman Weekend.
• Prop Recycling: The PKE Meter from Ghostbusters is used as an alien communication device.
• Shout Out:
  • One of Nada's earlier lines in the film is "I believe in America" - and if anything, it's more grimly ironic here than it was the first time...
  • The special sunglasses are called "Hoffman lenses", presumably named after anti-corporate activist Abbie Hoffman.
• Throw It In:
  • The famous "Chew Bubblegum" line was, in fact, an adlib by Roddy Piper. There's also the very, very long fist fight between Nada and Frank. It was supposed to be cut down, but the creators enjoyed the fight so much, they decided to leave the whole thing in.
  • The entire fist fight scene was always intended to be ad-libbed. Carpenter's shooting script simply said "FIGHT CONTINUES" for six pages, having the two actors do their thing.
