Louis Gossett, Jr. said in a television interview that he had talked while gargling saliva as a kid as one of those kid things. He told director Wolfgang Petersen that he thought that it would add a good touch to his character. Gossett performed the odd vocalizations all by himself (no mouth prosthetics or post-production effects), and often does "the Drac voice" at convention appearances.
According to Louis Gossett, Jr., the Drac language was created from scratch. Much of it was Russian, pronounced in reverse.
Author Barry Longyear reported at a convention that the studio insisted on adding a subplot involving a mine, thinking the audience would not realize that the "Mine" in the title was a possessive (as in "My Enemy") rather than an object.
The outside scenes (all the volcanic/lava landscapes and the green lake) were shot in Lanzarote (one of the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco), at the Montañas del Fuego National Park. The rest was filmed at the Bavaria Film Studios, Munich, West Germany. A few of the sets are still part of their studio tour.
It took four hours to apply the make-up to Louis Gossett, Jr., to transform him into Jeriba.
"Davidge: You know something, Jerry? Your great Shismar ain't shit! Jerry: [angry] Earthman, your Mickey Mouse is one big stupid dope! [Davidge tries not to laugh]"
"[last lines] Narrator: And so, Davidge brought the Dracs home. He fulfilled his vow, and brought Zammis before the Holy Council on Dracon. And, in the fullness of time, Zammis brought its own child before the Holy Council, the name of Willis Davidge was added to the line of Jereeba."
