Trivia and Facts
- Kris Kristofferson, who played the character Cisco Pike, was not the first choice for the role. Originally, Seymour Cassel had been set to star in the movie, but he left just before filming began. Kris Kristofferson stepped in as a last-minute replacement.
- There is a visible error in the film where the crew and their tripod can be seen reflected in the phone booth’s glass about 23 minutes into the movie. This happens right after Cisco rents a car.
