    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Author Barry Longyear reported at a convention that the studio insisted on adding a subplot involving a mine, thinking the audience would not realize that the "Mine" in the title was a possessive (as in "My Enemy") rather than an object.
    • Goofs
      When the Drac is sitting by the camp fire reading from his book, we see the open book for a few seconds. The page on the right is the same page as the left, just upside-down.
    • Quotes
      • Davidge: You know something, Jerry? Your great Shismar ain't shit!
      • Jerry: [angry] Earthman, your Mickey Mouse is one big stupid dope!
      • [Davidge tries not to laugh]
    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox logo plays without the fanfare.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version had been shortened by the distributors before release following negative reviews in the US and was then cut by 27 secs by the BBFC for a PG certificate with edits made to the severed ear sequence. The cuts were restored to the 1987 15-rated video release and the full US version was released on DVD in 2002.
