Robert Altman hated the script so much, he tossed it out and actors were coached on lines as they shot scenes.
A single 70mm print of the film was struck for its premiere in the Houston Astrodome to be shown in front of over 23,000 people. By all accounts, it was a disaster with terrible sound problems.
The original title of the film was "Brewster McCloud's Amazing, Sexy Flying Machine".
When Brewster and Suzanne are inside the Astroworld theme park, they enter the Lost World River Adventure. This particular theme ride was later renamed the River of No Return in 1976, and officially decommissioned in 1983. Astroworld, part of the Six Flags empire, was closed after 31 October 2005 and the entire park was razed in February 2006.
The movie premier took place inside the Astrodome. Harris County Judge Roy Hofheinz, who controlled the Dome at that time, promoted the movie by trying to sell tickets for cars to drive in and watch the movie. Failing this, VIPs watched the movie from folding chairs on the field.
"Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: [Shaft is asking the butler about Brewster] How tall was he? Butler: Oh, short. Very short, like you. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: I'm six one, Milhouse. Butler: You are? I'm five nine and you look shorter than me. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: You're standing on the steps. Butler: Oh. So I am. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Alright, where were you when you interviewed him? Butler: Here. Right here, where we are. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: You were up there and he was down here. Is that right? Butler: I think so. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Let's see, those steps are about eight inches, so that means if he was six foot one he would have looked to you to be about 16 inches shorter. About four nine. Butler: Right. Under five feet. Short. Only I think I was down here. [He steps down to the floor] Butler: And he was there. [Shaft climbs up one step] Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: What the hell would he be doing up here? Butler: Well, he was short, like I said, and maybe it made him feel better. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: [Shaft sits on the step] Alright, he was up here and you were down there. Is that right? Butler: Right. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: And he looked to you to be about four foot nine? Butler: That's right, short. Det. Lt. Frank Shaft: Jesus Christ, Milhouse, if he was four foot nine and he was standing on sixteen inches of steps that'd make him only three foot five. Butler: That's right. He was short like you."
"The Lecturer: [First line] I forgot the opening line."
