Trivia:
The phrase "a man without fear" is used in this film. This is another comic book reference, this one a reference to Daredevil, which is now a Ben Affleck film.
Comic Book Artists Mike Mignola and Tim Bradstreet worked as conceptual artists.
Pop Icon Michael Jackson was originally going to have a cameo in the "House of Pain" sequence as a "Vampire Pimp" that Nyssa encounters as she searches the upstairs hall. Jackson had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts and the part was played by a Czech actor. The sequence was ultimately cut out entirely for pacing reasons.
Much of Karel Roden's dialogue is dubbed by an uncredited English actor since audiences found his Czech accent too thick.
The corporate artwork in the Caliban building, which is knocked over in the climactic fight scene, represents a DNA double helix.
