Ernie Hudson stated that playing the character "Captain Munroe Kelly" is his personal favorite from his career.
The "diamonds" used for the scenes during the climax of the movie were actually Herkimer Diamonds borrowed from the Herkimer Diamond Mines of Middleville, New York. They are doubly-terminated (two-ended) quartz crystals that are found in only two places in the world. They were the only gems that would look enough like diamonds and be that large. As a kind of tribute, Tim Curry's character's first name is "Herkermer" (his character does not appear in the Michael Crichton novel upon which the movie was based).
Executive producer and director Frank Marshall originally intended to use the computer work pioneered on Jurassic Park (1993) for the gorillas, but opted for models, as the computers weren't capable of reproducing hair.
In the final film, the distinctive characteristics of the twelve gray gorillas, so painstakingly integrated into the original sculpts, were undetectable, as the characters were seen only in quick cuts. "The gray gorillas could have been more than what they were," Stan Winston admitted. "As wonderful as these characters were when we were looking at them at the studio, as wonderful as they could have been, they wound up looking like a bunch of guys running around in gray fur suits, mainly because of the limitations of the set and lighting."
Bruce Campbell auditioned for the role of Dr. Peter Elliot. He was given the small part of Charles Travis instead.
"Captain Wanta: [Homolka is eating a cake] Mr Homolka? Herkermer Homolka: Yes? Captain Wanta: Stop eating my sesame cake. [Homolka pauses in confusion] Captain Wanta: [shouting angrily] STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE! [Homolka spits out the cake] Captain Wanta: What are you doing in my country, bag of shit? Herkermer Homolka: Captain, please, I only wish to explore and discover... Captain Wanta: This fellow Captain Wanta: [pokes Homolka's face with a stick] is a big. Bag. Of. Shit. Captain Wanta: [to Monroe] You should shake this RAT from off your neck. He owes money to everyone everywhere he goes. I will ask you to wait outside Mr. Homolka!"
"Monroe: When the moon is like that, every monkey for 200 miles thinks he's Elvis Presley."
