Trivia
At around forty-nine minutes, Press' line "bangin' cocktail waitresses two at a time" was borrowed from The Godfather (1972) from the scene in which Moe Green explains to Michael Corleone his public mistreatment of brother Fredo.

Goofs
The crew holds real-time video and radio conversations with Earth while in orbit around Mars. This would be impossible without technological advances. Despite travelling at the speed of light, radio waves would need anywhere from several minutes to almost an hour depending on where they are in their orbits with respect to each other to travel from Mars to Earth and vice versa.

Quotes
[At a brothel, the scene of a grisly death]
Press Lenox: So, you didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing, you don't know nothing, right?
Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You know what I mean, they come - and they go.
[Starts laughing]
Dennis Gamble: Well, that's hysterical. Why don't you sit your ass down.
Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You get it?
Press Lenox: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Here you go!
[Press pushes the wheelchair-bound clerk rolling down a nearby hill]

Alternate versions
DVD release includes some deleted scenes. Three of them are just longer, alternate takes of scenes in the film: Patrick's sex encounter with the debutante and her sister; a longer dance scene in the strip club; a longer version of Patrick's attempt to slid his 'tongue' into Dr. Laura Baker's mouth. The fourth scene shows Patrick going into the apartment of a girl he picked up at a club: when he discovers that the girl is actually a transsexual, he kills her.

Surprised it made the theaters

I can't believe this made the big screen. This movie should have gone straight to tape, it is simply atrocious. Everything about this movie is bad; the acting (what little there is), the story (what little there is) and the special effects. The only thing it accomplishes is being a total gross-out. If you like steamy sex scenes to then see the woman get mutilated during childbirth, this movie is for you! Even if you only watched this movie to see Natasha H. get naked, you'll probably even be disappointed there! And the end where the aliens have sex is simply the stupidist I've seen. The special effects look like a cheap rip-off from Aliens and the way the male Species suffocates Eve with what looks like a phallic tentacle is beyond dumb.

I cannot recommend this movie to anyone.
