    • Trivia
      Forest Whitaker expressed his regret for participating in this movie.
    • Goofs
      Jet fuel has a shelf life of about four years. A fully-fueled jet found after 1,000 years wouldn't even be able to start, much less take off and fly.
    • Quotes

      Ker: I don't know what you're so down about. You still get to be head of security, which, from what I can tell, is a pretty cushy job.

      Terl: Well, I can assure you that I was not groomed since birth to have some cushy job that even a moron like you could perform. While you were still learning how to SPELL YOUR NAME, I was being trained to conquer GALAXIES! To do anything less is a disgrace to my entire family line.

    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema and Warner DVD releases were cut by 2 secs to remove a headbutt during a fight scene. The Optimum DVD is uncut.

    worst film i ever saw
    the friend who lent me the DVD warned me, but it beat all my expectations of lowliness. this film is unspeakably bad. don't go and see it, take my word for it:

    * it has no plot.

    * the 'actors' suck huge rocks. really huge.

    * travolta doesn't even try.

    * the most elaborate dialog revolves around the sentence 'grumble mumble'.

    * special effects are the worst ever, because they pretend to be serious.

    * costumes and characterization make space: 1999 look excellent

    i could go on and on and on, but i'm beginning to feel sick just for having to think about it.
