In the early trailers, the make-your-own-omelette scene included the invention of the popcorn omelette. It grew into a ball then exploded sending kids flying out the windows. This scene was cut from the final film and removed from future trailers.

Christopher Lloyd initially disliked the script, but only agreed to appear for extra money as his previous films Angels in the Outfield (1994) and Addams Family Values (1993) only performed modestly well at the box office. He felt he needed a little more financial security after the tepid box office results of the previous films but only agreed to appear if one of his costars from the "Back to the Future" trilogy had a supporting role. This is why Tom Wilson who played Biff in Back to the Future (1985) appears as Lt. Hendrix in this film.
