Trivia

According to Gary Foster, Avi Arad, and Mark Steven Johnson, the Director's Cut DVD of this feature was in fact the originally intended theatrical release, until the last minute, when they decided to make the changes necessary to please "20th Century Fox," to get the film a PG-13 rating.

Quotes
