What's left behind the scenes
- Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan met on the set of this film. In 1991, they got married, and their marriage lasted until 2001.
- The roles of the laboratory staff who shrink the hero played by Dennis Quaid were filled by actual employees of one of the laboratories.
- According to the head of special effects, Peter Kuran, the cells outside the miniature capsule were made of jelly.
- When Jack walks to the mirror for Penderton to examine him, a hiccup sound is heard. It was once recorded by voice actor Mel Blanc (1908-1989), known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices.” This sound was repeatedly used in Warner Bros. cartoons.
- During the filming of the scene in the van with Scrimshaw and Jack, director Joe Dante suddenly realized that Scrimshaw hadn't been written any lines at all. All the lines were written solely for Penderton. Several lines were quickly devised for Scrimshaw, played by Kevin McCarthy, although they are barely audible behind Penderton’s words in the film.
- Initially, director Luca Bercovici was cast as Aigo, but the filmmakers decided he didn't have the presence for the villain role, as he was roughly the same height and build as the protagonist. Vernon Wells replaced him as the villain.
- Attempting to encourage Jack to jump out of the moving van, Tuck repeats "nam myoho renge kyo" three times. This is a mantra of "Nichiren Buddhism," one of the major schools of Buddhism in Japan, belonging to the Mahayana tradition.
- While the process of shrinking Tak Pendleton is underway, hexagons (two at the top, three at the bottom) can be seen on one of the monitors in the laboratory. This is the emblem of the US Army's top-secret project in Richard Fleischner's film *Fantastic Voyage* (1966).
- Mel Gibson and Robin Williams were considered for the role of Jack Patterson.
- In Tak's bedroom, you can spot a book based on the horror anthology film *Twilight Zone: The Movie* (1983). The film consists of a prologue, four episodes, and an epilogue. Steven Spielberg and Joe Dante each directed one episode of the film.
- When Scrimshaw and Kenker were already half-sized, there are several shots showing these characters alongside actors of normal height. These and some other shots were filmed using so-called forced perspective.
- When Jack goes to the mirror so that Penderton can examine him, a hiccup sound is heard. This sound was once recorded by voice actor Mel Blanc (1908-1989), known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices.” The sound has been repeatedly used in Warner Bros. cartoons.
- Trying to cheer Jack up to make him jump out of the moving van, Tak repeats “nam myoho renge kyo” three times. This is a mantra of Nichiren Buddhism, one of the main Buddhist schools in Japan, belonging to the Mahayana tradition.
- During the process of Tak Pendelton shrinking, hexagons (two on top, three below) can be seen on one of the monitors in the laboratory. This is the emblem of a classified US Army project in Richard Fleischer’s film *Fantastic Voyage* (1966).
- In Tak’s bedroom, a book based on the horror-fantasy film *Twilight Zone: The Movie* (1983) can be noticed. The film consists of a prologue, four episodes, and an epilogue. Steven Spielberg and Joe Dante directed one episode each.
