NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.
Regarding the film's premise, Ben Affleck asked director Michael Bay, "Wouldn't it be easier for NASA to train astronauts how to drill rather than training drillers to be astronauts?" Bay told Affleck to shut up. The reasoning behind sending drillers, rather than training astronauts, is explained in the movie.
Because of the patriotic nature of the script, and the success of using Top Gun (1986) starring Tom Cruise as recruitment material, the producers persuaded NASA to allow director Michael Bay and company to shoot in the normally restricted space agency. This included the neutral buoyancy lab, a 65 million-gallon, 40 foot-deep pool used to train astronauts for weightlessness, and the use of two $10 million space suits. The crew was also allowed to shoot in the historic launch pad that went out of service after the Apollo 1 disaster, and parts of the movie were filmed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
Michael Bay had the actors write their list of demands on the papers from which Bruce Willis read.
Bruce Willis has said that he did not care for Michael Bay's directing style, and he refuses to work with him again.
"Lev Andropov: It's stuck, yes? Watts: Back off! You don't know the components! Lev Andropov: [annoyed] Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"
"Rockhound: You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?"
