• The film is based on the «Doom» series of computer games (1993 – present, id Software).
• Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software, was involved in the film's creation from the beginning of production. He reviewed and approved the scripts.
• The tattoo on The Rock's back, "SEMPER FI," is a standard abbreviation used by Marines for the Latin phrase that is the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps – Semper fidelis (Always faithful).
• A cacodemon was planned to appear in the film, but it was cut from the final version.
• The first-person scene features a remix of the classic Doom musical theme.
• The names of the scientists, Dr. Carmack and Dr. Willits, are references to id Software developers John Carmack and Tim Willits.
• The film uses the door opening sound from the game Doom 3.
• The video in the credits uses many textures and lighting effects from Doom 3: boxes with an 'X' on the sides, barrels, a car with a glowing cylinder.
• After the marines return to Earth before the climax, when the Demon is speaking in the room with the Ark, a drawn arrow pointing to the right with the caption “To Delta Labs” can be seen on the wall behind him; this is likely a reference to the Delta Labs from Doom 3.
• In the original description of the game “Doom,” the abbreviation for the weapon fired by Dwayne Johnson’s character in the finale is deciphered as “Big Fucking Gun.”
• The director's cut of the film has a runtime of 113 minutes.
• The assault rifles used by the marines are modified German G36 assault rifles.
• The marine, played by Karl Urban, is originally nicknamed “Reaper,” while his last name is “Grimm.” This is an untranslatable play on words – grim reaper – an English euphemism for death.
