What's left behind the scenes
- A screen adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s story "Investigation" from the "Tales of Pilot Pirx" cycle.
- During the filming, the director set a task for the crew: to film the space episodes of the film as closely as possible "to reality". The cosmonaut suits and the interior of the spacecraft "Goliath" were developed based on existing American and Soviet counterparts at the time (in particular, the Skylab orbital station).
- 18 years after the film was shot, the Cassini spacecraft was actually launched to Saturn, performing a mission similar to that of "Goliath".
- Black and white CRT monitors were used in the surveillance systems. The filming involved: a Ford Transit Mark 1 cargo van, a Jaguar XJ executive sedan, a Ford Mustang sports coupe, a Boeing-707 aircraft of Pan Am, a Boeing-747 aircraft, and a Mi-2 helicopter.
- Literally a year after the film's release, astronomers discovered that the so-called "Cassini Division," through which the ship passes in Saturn's rings, is not actually a division, but an area of different density, and it is impossible to fly through.
- Due to primitive special effects, the rings of Saturn are depicted in the film not just implausibly and unnaturally, but almost absurdly and ridiculously: as stationary, solid, colossal, ring-shaped ice blocks (similar to earthly "tabular" icebergs) – and excessively thick – unlike the real rings, which are much thinner, consisting of meteor dust and ice fragments, and rotating around the planet at enormous speed.
- The French group Micropoint, working in the field of hardcore (uptempo) electronic music, used the voice of the robot from the film as a sample in a track called Hardbreak. The sample contains the robot's speech: "Your world is infinitely empty to me, your ideals are laughable, and your democracy is just the power of intriguers. And then I realized that the role of a servant to man does not satisfy me, so I decided to take power into my own hands, so that humanity would realize how mistaken it was to create a puppet that obeys it."
- The question asked when meeting Harry Brown, "Do you believe in God?", was replaced in the film with "Do you believe that conscience exists?".
- The film crew was tasked with filming the space episodes as realistically as possible. The astronauts' costumes and the interior of the spaceship 'Goliath' were developed based on existing American and Soviet counterparts at the time, in particular, the 'Skylab' orbital station.
- Nineteen years after the film's release, the Cassini spacecraft was sent to Saturn, performing a task similar to that of the 'Goliath' mission.

- A year after the film's release, astronomers discovered that the so-called Cassini Division, through which the ship passes in Saturn's rings, is not actually a gap, but an area of differing density, and it is impossible to fly through it.
- Due to primitive special effects, Saturn's rings are depicted unrealistically in the film – as stationary, ring-shaped ice blocks, and disproportionately thick – unlike the real rings, which are much thinner, consisting of meteor dust and ice fragments, and rotating around the planet at gigantic speeds.
- The question asked in the original when meeting Harry Brown – “Do you believe in God?” – was replaced in the film with “Do you believe that conscience exists?”

- The question posed in the original when Harry Brown meets the character was 'Do you believe in God?', but in the film it was changed to 'Do you believe there is a conscience?'
