    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Tim Roth suffered extensively in the role of General Thade. He didn't mind the hours and hours spent in the make-up chair, but found the costume extremely constricting. By the end of the shoot, he had trapped nerves and two herniated vertebrae in his back.
    • Goofs
      When Leo enters the delta pod, he puts on his helmet and it loosely touches the collar of his spacesuit. In the next shots it fits perfectly in the collar.
    • Quotes
      • Attar: Get your stinking hands off me, you damn dirty human!
    • Crazy credits
      The background on the 20th Century Fox logo fades to a starfield, before the logo itself fades out and the camera pans to the planet below.
    • Alternate versions
      The final kissing scene between Mark Wahlberg and Helena Bonham Carter was edited out in the theatrical run when the movie was first released in India.
