Go To

1* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/PedroPascal decided by himself to give Ezra a Southern accent, a facial scar, and a skunk stripe. The prop department also had to compact Ezra's backpack to reduce the strain on Pascal's aching back.
2* AwesomeDearBoy: Zeek Earl [[https://sainte-magazine.com/showcase/interview-zeek-earl-on-prospect cited]] Ezra's tendency to speak with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness as a trait that attracted the role to Pedro Pascal, who often recites or performs Creator/WilliamShakespeare plays.
3* CaliforniaDoubling: The Green Moon's alien landscape is the Hoh Rainforest in Western Washington. Anyone familiar with the area can spot some of its distinctive flora.
4* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The 2021 Limited Edition UHD set bundled the movie together with an ''Aurelac Prospecting'' booklet and some trading cards.
5* NoBudget: The original short film was made for $30k, while the movie cost less than $4 million. Which doesn't even mean the actual figure, but simply a measurement bracket for it: it could be anything between a dollar, up to those 4 millions.
6* OneTakeWonder: Pedro Pascal and Creator/SophieThatcher only needed one take to perform Cee shooting Ezra in the shoulder.
7* PromotedFanboy: Earl and Caldwell went from merely loving movies directed by Mark and Jay Duplass, to directing Jay Duplass themselves, after they cast him as Damon.
8* RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: Ezra's blonde streak came from Pedro Pascal [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Filmmakers/comments/jms2ud/comment/gb0kmcf attempting]] to streak Ezra's skunk stripe himself, only to mess up so badly, [[MyHairCameOutGreen it came out blonde instead of white]].
9* ShortRunInPeru: The German Ultra HD release came out two years before the American set.
10* ThoseTwoActors: Andre Royo and Anwan Glover share no scenes, but are both best known for their roles in ''Series/TheWire''.
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12** The movie originally ended with Ezra revealing to Cee that he smuggled a gem onto the ship, but the directors decided this and the buildup would create EndingFatigue.
13** The writers/directors and Sophie Thatcher [[https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/prospect-sequel-sophie-thatcher-interview discussed]] continuing Cee's story in a TV show, but COVID prevented it from coming true.
