What's left behind the scenes
- The story that formed the basis of the film's plot was conceived by Robert Rodriguez's seven-year-old son, Racer, at the time, and he received special mention in the film’s credits. He also played seven-year-old Sharkboy in one of the scenes.
- The main character in the film is named Max, after the middle name of Robert Rodriguez’s son, Racer Max Rodriguez.
- Professional wrestler Dean Roll, performing under the name Sharkboy and trademarking it in 1999, filed a lawsuit accusing Miramax studio of infringing on his rights and demanding monetary compensation. The proceedings lasted almost two years, and in April 2007, the dispute was settled out of court, with the amount of compensation paid remaining undisclosed.
- Robert Rodriguez's name is listed in the credits fourteen times, including as director, producer, screenwriter, special effects supervisor, cinematographer, editor, camera operator, composer, and actor.
- The film was shot so quickly that by the time Robert Rodriguez was ready to send the finished material to the studio, even the planned promotional materials were not yet ready.
- The majority of the film was shot against a green screen using over a thousand computer-generated special effects, with 11 studios working on them simultaneously. Scenes taking place in the 'normal' world were filmed in Austin, Texas.
- Coinciding with the film's release, Robert Rodriguez published two children's books in collaboration with renowned American science fiction writer Chris Roberson, titled “Sharkboy and Lavagirl Adventures.” The first book was called “The Day Dreamer” and the second, “Return to Planet Drool,” with illustrations by Alex Toader, who was involved in the development and design of characters and landscapes for this film and the three “Spy Kids” installments.
