• But I Play One on TV: Morgan Freeman reported that during a press conference for the movie, many of the reporters called him "Mr. President".
• Dueling Movies: Set against Armageddon, a considerably more action-packed movie with nearly twice the budget. They were released the same summer, and both did well at the box office, probably because they took such different approaches to the material that they barely qualified as "dueling". The President's speech originally included the line "There will be no Armageddeon", but it was taken out as test audiences laughed during the line.
• Hey, It's That Guy!:
  • Frodo and Joan of Arc got married!
  • God is president and Farmer Hockett is a Senator!
  • Eddie Carr is Frodo's dad.
  • Red Foreman works for NASA now.
  • Otto was the last man to walk on the moon.
  • Happy Hogan was sent drifting into space to die.
  • Jane bluffed her way into an anchor spot even though she had no clue what "Ellie" really meant.
  • Dantalian from Charmed works at MSNBC.
  • Herbal makes an appearance at some point.
