    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Robin Williams' final film. He had completed his dialogue before his death in August 2014 and the film was released a full year after.

      The Pioneer probe is depicted flying with its parabolic dish pointing forward. Obviously, in reality this dish was pointing towards Earth at all times, which would not be in the direction of travel by the time of the Saturn encounter.
    • Quotes
      • Neil Clarke: I can do ANYTHING! Okay... bu... but... what do I *really* want?
      • [Looks down and laughs]
      • Neil Clarke: GIVE ME A REALLY BIG DICK!
      • [Falls over]
      • Neil Clarke: Augh! ouch! NOT *THAT* BIG! Obviously! Dick, return to your old size!
      • [Gets up]
      • Neil Clarke: Agh! Ah... Ok. Um... Let me have a penis that women find exciting!

      "DISCLAIMER: and yes we do know that the NASA footage of the Pioneer Rocket taking off is actually the Apollo Rockets, thank you"
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice. The distributor was advised the likely classification was 15 but that their preferred 12A could be obtained by reducing the quantity of strong language. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the number of uses of strong language had been reduced and the film was therefore classified 12A.
