Trivia
The "Goliath" robot was approximately 9 ft tall and weighed an estimated 4000 lbs. The special effects company hired to create Goliath had only three-and-a-half months to produce the robot from the initial drawings to the finished product.
Quotes
Squeaky:
Woods is wound so tight you couldn't pull a pin outta his ass with a tractor.
Goofs
Nadya's "husband" is recognized by the wedding ring on his left hand. Orthodox Christians, which is the most common Russian religion,wear their wedding ring on the right hand; wearing it on the left would signify that the wearer is widowed.
Alternate Versions
The DVD contains three deleted scenes:
- a discussion between Foster and Richie, in which Richie says he doesn't like Foster aboard a ship, which is followed by a discussion of Hiko's tattoos. Then Hiko tells Baker about his ancestors and his greatest fear;
- an extended version of the scene where Foster and Baker flee using the rocket motors; and
- the original entrance of Everton into the Antenna Control room, which was changed in the theatrical release because the studio felt that adding computer generated robotic legs would cost too much and because the test audiences didn't like the line "It's me: Bob."
