Line 11:
** Trailer voiceover legend Hal Douglas narrates the opening.
* [[Troubled Production]]: The ballooning of the budget ($100 million to $175 million) is the lesser part of it. The [[Executive Meddling]] made it even worse. The hurricane trashing the main set didn't help either.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
* [[What Could Have Been]]:* The film originated as a writer's pitch to notoriously low-budget producer [[Roger Corman]]. Corman turned it down [[Hilarious in Hindsight|saying that it would cost them $5 million]].
** The version that Universal ended up buying was basically a kiddie flick -- Enola was the main character alongside two of Helen's own kids, the Mariner was a human and largely a supporting character, while the early version of the Deacon can only be described as being how you'd expect the Adam West ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' series to characterize him. Needless to say, the subsequent drafts took the film in a very different direction.
** Universal Pictures wanted [[Robert Zemeckis]] <ref>Yes, [[Back to The Future|that]] [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Robert]] [[Forrest Gump|Zemeckis]]</ref> to direct. [[Kevin Costner]] insisted on having [[Kevin Reynolds]].
** Also: The film originally had a different composer, Mark Isham, but his soundtrack was thrown out and replaced with a new score by James Newton Howard. Both scores present drastically different tones to the material, with the latter being more adventurous and upbeat sounding.
 
** The entire slaver faction was written out when the set was destroyed.
