- Creator Killer: Director Joseph Kahn, a music video director who before the film was expected to emerge as the next Michael Bay, wouldn't make another feature film for seven years after the flop of this film. (And for good measure, that next film of his, the 2011 teen slasher parody Detention, features a strong Take That! to Torque.) Producer Neal Moritz barely managed to make it out in one piece.
- Star-Derailing Role:
- Martin Henderson, then an up-and-coming actor thanks to his role in The Ring and who played the lead role, saw his career reduced to bit parts, straight-to-video films, and TV shows which lasted one season. He only started enjoying a small comeback in The New '10s, thanks to roles on Grey's Anatomy and Virgin River.
- It also killed the career of model-turned actress Monet Mazur, who played the lead female role, who had a minor supporting presence on film beforehand. After a few more ill-received-films after this, she hasn't appeared in a theatrical release since 2009. She later landed a slight hit on TV with All American, however.
