    • 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.

    Must Have Set Scientology Back By A Couple Of Decades Or Something
    LMAO

    Terrible terrible acting... you can see the actors and actresses trying to ham it up, but the the suspension of disbelief is beyond the powers of a mere human. Just so ridiculous.

    You have to watch it to believe it. Also, do not forget to give it as a gift to your puny Napoleon complexed co-worker. Rest assured he will suffer.
