• Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Donna Hayward in the series, was unable to continue her character's storyline in the prequel because she was already committed to four other projects at the time.
• Some of the key figures of the television series – Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne) and Kyle MacLachlan (Agent Dale Cooper) – refused to participate in the filming of the prequel. Lynch eventually managed to persuade the latter to take a reduced role, and to compensate for the gaps, he introduced the character of Agent Chester Desmond into the film. This move slightly disrupted the logical sequence between the events of the series, the film, and several books written about 'Twin Peaks'.
• David Lynch struggled for a long time to decide whether or not subtitles were needed in key scenes of the film. The British distributors of the film made this decision for him, and as a result, subtitles are present in all versions of the film except the British one.
• Robert Engels later stated that the original script for the film was much longer than the version filmed by Lynch. According to him, the original script would have been enough for a sequel, but the director shot only five hours of footage. Moreover, many of the cut scenes featured characters from the original television series.
• David Lynch, who played Gordon Cole, named his character after one of the minor characters in the drama "Sunset Boulevard" (1950).
