    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Robert Rodriguez, the theme park at the beginning of the film was originally going to be Disneyland, but Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington was used instead. Additionally, Carmen's line "no more rinky dink assignments" as she tosses away the propellor beanie was originally supposed to be "no more Mickey Mouse assignments" and she was to have tossed mouse ears.
    • Goofs
      When the DragonSpy vehicle approaches the island, it loses all of its electrical power due to the Transmooker Device. So instead of stopping abruptly as shown, it should've continued moving at whatever speed it had when it first entered the "Transmooker Zone;" by Newton's First Law. It wouldn't have been able to exert any stopping force if it lost power.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Romero: Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?

    • Crazy credits
      The ending credits scroll while Carmen and Juni are somehow set to perform before a crowd of teenagers. Carmen is nervous but their Uncle 'Machete' gives them gadgets so they can perform well in front of the crowd. Then the bloopers and goofing around sequences come in, followed by a sequence where the amusement park owner (Bill Paxton) tries to talk Romero (Steve Buscemi) into establishing a theme park on the island. Finally, the Treehouse is shown getting ready for visitors.

    Horrible
    I have seen some bad movies, but this has to be in the top 5. The Special effects were the worst I have ever seen (recently), and the acting is even worse. I think a 10 year old could have wrote a better script. Like 80% of the movie looked like it was a green screen. The only movie worse than this is Jaws: The Revenge. I think you should avoid this movie. I would rather watch jaws 3 than have to watch this movie again. The original was a okay movie, but this movie is not worth your time. the fight scenes are the worst I have ever scene. The jokes fell flat every time. I can not think of one good thing about this movie. Avoid this movie.
