Trivia
Cameo: [Jon Davison] the owner of the dog killed in the destruction of Buenos Aries: "The only good bug is a dead bug!" See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The "bug" meteor the destruction of which is shown by the "Federal Network" at the beginning of the movie would not have simply stopped in place after being shot by the missile. Its momentum, the gravity of the Earth, and the lack of friction in the vacuum of space would have meant that the shards would have continued in the same direction. See more »Quotes
