- Creator Killer: While Chan's career suffered no problems, a sizable chunk of the rest of the crew took varying levels of damage to their careers, and some of them ended up in the cinema Demon Netherworld for some time (it's been an indefinite stay for writer Michael Leeson, who's only done television work since). Producer Adam Schroeder eventually escaped and returned to movie producing in The New 10's. This film is also part of a bad spell that led to the DreamWorks SKG power trio of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffin breaking up.
