• In the early stages of work on the film, it was planned to reveal the character of Sam Anders in a flashback, a storyline that was ultimately cut from the final version. This idea had to be abandoned due to financial and time constraints.
• The uniforms were specifically designed to resemble those worn in the television series "Battlestar Galactica" (1978-1979).
• When Nico Samano arrived in Vancouver to film the role of young Bill Adama, he was given the first two seasons of the series to watch. Samano locked himself in his hotel room for the entire weekend and reviewed the footage, studying Edward James Olmos' performance and trying to envision a "younger version" in order to more convincingly portray his character on screen.
• Before its television premiere, "Battlestar Galactica: Razor" had a limited theatrical release in some cities. A full theatrical release was impossible due to legal reasons. "Universal Studios" owned the rights to the "Battlestar Galactica" franchise, but the rights to distribute films belonged to Glen A. Larson, the creator of the original elements of the franchise (cinematic and television) from the 1970s. Therefore, a theatrical release required Larson's approval.
