1* ActorInspiredElement: It was Creator/JohnTravolta's idea to play the Deakins character as "bigger than life."
2* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/JohnTravolta loved working on this film and often wears a leather flight jacket with his character's B-3 bomber patch prominently stitched on the chest.
3* {{Blooper}}: When Hale wakes up in the desert after being forcefully ejected from the B3, the sun is just coming up. However, when Terry then confronts him, the sun is suddenly high in the sky, making the intercuts jarring.
4* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/JohnTravolta was given the choice of playing either Deakins or Hale. He chose the villain Deakins.
5* DyeingForYourArt: Samantha Mathis dyed her hair red for the film.
6* NoStuntDouble: Creator/ChristianSlater did almost all of his own stunts. Howie Long did all his own stunts.
7* ReleaseDateChange: The film missed its original December 1995 release date when special effects work could not be completed on time. The film was released the following February.
8* SparedByTheCut: Kelly was originally supposed to be killed off earlier in the picture, but when Fox execs saw the dailies and liked his performance, his role was quickly expanded so he could be in the whole movie.
9* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
10** Creator/HalleBerry was rejected for the role of Terry because the casting people didn't think a black person would be believable as a park ranger! Creator/HelenHunt was offered the role, but she turned it down in favour of ''Film/{{Twister}}''. Creator/JenniferAniston and Creator/LaurenHolly were also considered.
11** Creator/JohnWoo originally wanted Hale to die.
