What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on a series of trading cards from chewing gum packs from the late 1950s, drawn by artists: Len Brown, Woody Gelman, Wally Wood, Bob Powell, and Norman Saunders.
  • Originally, Warren Beatty was supposed to play the role of the US President, and Johnny Depp was to play Jason Stone.
  • The sound of the ray guns was taken from the film "The War of the Worlds" (1953).
  • Meryl Streep was initially invited for the role of the First Lady, followed by Goldie Hawn.
  • This is Tim Burton's first film to use computer graphics.
  • The film uses scenes from American science fiction films of the 1950s, particularly from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951).
  • The screenwriters didn't know how the Martians would speak and wrote "ack, ack, ack, ack" in the script as a substitute for dialogue. As a result, the "working version" became the official Martian language.
  • The film includes footage of the real (demolition) explosion of a casino in Las Vegas, captured by Tim Burton. The casino, with a tower resembling a flying saucer (or an airport control tower), was called “The Landmark” and was demolished on November 7, 1995.
  • The dress of the “Martian beauty” who sneaked into the President’s bedroom had no buttons, zippers, or other fasteners, so the actress, Lisa Marie, had to literally “sew herself” into it each time.
  • The soldiers of the American army in the film wear uniforms from the 1950s and are armed with M14 rifles, which have been decommissioned. However, the Secret Service agent at the White House is armed with a Beretta 92FS pistol, developed in 1983. The agent guarding the President is armed with a Micro Uzi submachine gun, created in the same year.
