History Trivia / TheOmegaCode

* MoneyDearBoy: Director Brian Trenchard-Smith stated in an interview that he only did the second film because of the opportunity to work with Michael York, and the (relatively) high budget the studio was offering him; much higher than any film he'd ever worked on. Trenchard-Smith proceeded to heavily rewrite the original script with John Fasano to emphasize the genre elements already present, and add a self-aware sense of humour to the film.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/CasperVanDien and Catherine Oxenberg married after making the first movie.

* DoingItForTheArt: Creator/MichaelYork was very enthusiastic about the project, having wanted to play TheAntiChrist ever since having to turn down the role of Damien Thorn in ''Film/OmenIIITheFinalConflict'' due to scheduling conflicts. His attachment to the project early on as both star and executive producer generated enough interest to attract other high-profile names to the film, and helped both it and its sequel secure funding. He later wrote a book about his experiences on the films titled ''Dispatches from Armageddon''.
