What's left behind the scenes
- The film suffered greatly from piracy: long before its theatrical release, widespread pirate copies circulated – the film was stolen practically from the editing table, and the pirate version had a different ending.
- Anna Paquin was originally supposed to play Enola.
- The ruins of the city that the heroes see underwater are Denver.
- At the time of its release, "Waterworld" became the most expensive film in history.
- The portrait on the wall, to whom Deacon refers as Saint Joe, is Joseph Hazelwood, captain of the oil tanker "Exxon Valdez," which ran aground off the coast of Alaska, leading to a spill of millions of liters of oil.
- The "Exxon Valdez" tanker was repaired and renamed "Sea River Mediterranean".
- Joss Whedon flew to the set at the last moment to rewrite some parts of the script. Later, Joss would call his work on "Waterworld" "seven weeks of hell".
- In the scene where Deacon (Dennis Hopper) aims a rifle at Mariner (Kevin Costner), he first licks his thumb and wipes the scope, exactly replicating a scene with Gary Cooper in "Sergeant York" (1941).
- Due to its relative failure at the box office, the film was nicknamed "Fishtar," a slight paraphrase of one of the biggest flops of 1987 – "Ishtar" (1987).
- A quad mount is an anti-aircraft armament consisting of four Browning machine guns.
- Kevin Costner was on set for 157 days, working 6 days a week.
- Mark Isham wrote a soundtrack for the film that was not used in the final version.
- The film was jokingly nicknamed "Kevin's Gate" because the picture significantly exceeded its initial budget, just as "Heaven's Gate" (1980) did.
- Despite grossing $255 million worldwide on a $175 million budget, many consider "Waterworld" to be one of the biggest box office failures in film history.
- Kevin Costner flew to the film's premiere in Japan on his own plane. However, Tokyo authorities did not grant permission to park the plane at the airport. He left his plane at the Atsugi naval base in exchange for a screening of the film and his personal appearance during the showing.
- Gene Hackman, James Caan, and Gary Oldman declined offers to play the Deacon.
- The language spoken by Kevin Costner's character and the vagrant who steals lemons at the beginning of the film is Hindi.
- The atoll set was a quarter of a mile in circumference.
- Approximately 2000 costumes were created for the film.
- Approximately 30 boats were used, specifically modified for filming the movie.
- Initially, the studio wanted Robert Zemeckis to direct the film.
- Before filming began, Kevin Costner insisted that Kevin Reynolds direct the film, however, during filming, relations between Costner and Reynolds deteriorated significantly. Rumor has it that Reynolds left the project, and Costner finished filming as the director.
- The film crew nicknamed Tina Majorino "jellyfish candy" after she was stung by a jellyfish three times.
- The inscriptions in the tattoo on Enola's back are written in traditional Chinese characters. The characters surrounding the arrow indicate latitude and longitude. Although one of the characters is difficult to distinguish, it can be said that they are the coordinates of Mount Everest – 27 degrees 59 minutes north latitude, 86 degrees 56 minutes east longitude. In the film, the coordinates are as follows: 27 or 28 degrees 58 minutes north latitude, 86 degrees 56 minutes east longitude.
- During filming, Kevin Costner lived in a villa with a butler, a chef, and his own swimming pool, a stay that cost $4,500 per night. At the same time, the majority of the film crew lived in condominiums where the heat was unbearable. Inadequate living conditions led to hostility on the set.
- The studio didn't spend a penny to find out what weather conditions are typical for the Hawaiian coast. Had research been conducted, it would have been discovered that winds of 72 km/h blow there, which subsequently led to numerous set damages.
- The director's cut of the film has a runtime of 176 minutes.
- A group of fans, disgruntled that scenes with excessive violence, nudity, and profanity had been removed from the full version of the film, decided to restore justice and released the most complete version possible, known as the Ulysses Cut, with a runtime of 177 minutes.
- When a sailor is flipping through his National Geographic magazines in an attempt to find the meaning of the word 'to regret,' a release date is visible on one of the magazines — January 1981.
- In the theatrical version, the protagonist has no name; throughout the film, he is referred to using pronouns. Later, the girl held captive by the bandits says, "He has no name, so Death will never find him." In the director's cut, the protagonist is given the name Odysseus at the end of the film.
- Upon its release, "Waterworld" became the most expensive film in history.
