- TriviaTo make the Martian Girl costume as smooth as possible, it had no zipper or buttons. Lisa Marie had to be sewn into it every day.
- GoofsThe shape of the president's tie changes several times during his "can't we all just get along" speech. This is an in-joke reference to a similar continuity error with Jack Nicholson in Kunnian miehiä (1992).

Review
Featured review
Has aged well
Much derided at the time for it's shallowness and the way the stars seem to be having too good a time, this has aged better than the disaster movies that came out at the time. Especially now, with the way governments are failing us with the virus, a satire feels much more honest than any film showing people in a better light. Having said that, for a full blown satire, it is never quite funny or witty enough, and relies too much on stars undermining their own image.
