| 1 | * DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The film was also scheduled to make its network broadcast debut on September 15th, 2001. After the terrorist attacks on September 11th, the Fox network understandably cancelled the plan to show this movie. |
| 2 | * RealitySubtext: Many thought the bombing that begins the film looked uncomfortably close to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, which while three years on, was still on the public's minds considering the horribleness of the crime and the conviction of Timothy [=McVeigh=] less than a year before. |
| 3 | * SpoiledByTheMerchandise: Partially averted in the action-figure line as licensee [[Creator/ToddMcFarlane McFarlane Toys]] wrapped the film's creature figures in tiny fabric body-bags within the packaging so they weren't visible on the store shelf, but once you brought the toy home and opened it up the surprises were spoiled in [=McFarlane=]'s famously-high level of detail. |
