Anecdotes
NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.

Gaffes
Drillers would never use steel cutters on pipe in a hole with known gas pocket/gas residue. Instead, in a situation with known gas pocket/gas residue, brass cutters are used because they don't spark and therefore wouldn't run the risk of igniting the residual gas from gas pocket.

Citations
Rockhound: You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

Crédits fous
Portions of the video of Grace Stamper and A.J. Frost's wedding are shown during the final credits.

Versions alternatives
Criterion's two-DVDs version features the longer director's cut with added dialogue and footage, including a scene between Harry Stamper and his father (played by Lawrence Tierney.) A second DVD with supplemental material is included, with additional deleted scenes, outtakes and bloopers.

One of Those Guilty Pleasures

After discovering that an asteroid the size of Texas is going to impact Earth in less than a month, NASA recruits a misfit team of deep core drillers to save the planet.

The real mystery surrounding this film is how it got released by the Criterion Collection. Both this film and Michael Bay's "The Rock" received the Criterion treatment at one time. And while both are very enjoyable films, do they really belong with Criterion? I feel that by merely being released by them, there is an added importance stamped on the film.

But as far as guilty pleasures go, this is a fun and entertaining film. I could do without the romance angle, but the idea of blowing up an asteroid before it hits earth (which assumes a lot of questionable science) is just classic science fiction, here given more legitimacy and budget than ever before.
