The scene where the "witch" flies out of the cargo compartment on the airplane took several takes. The actor couldn't easily open the cargo door on the B707, so actual airline employees were used.
Screenwriter David Twohy's original conception was that the Warlock was a good-natured man who fled the 17th century to avoid religious persecution, only to find himself similarly persecuted in the 20th century. After working on the script for two months, he realized it didn't work and decided to make the character a villain.
When Julian Sands received the script, he assumed it was in the mold of the then-popular slasher movies, so it sat around for a while before he got around to reading it. Once he finally decided to give it a once-over, he was captivated and quickly became excited about the film.
In 1995, Saskatchewan teenager Sandy Charles and an unnamed eight-year-old accomplice murdered a seven-year-old boy, cut strips of flesh from his body, boiled and drank it in hopes that, as in the film, it would give them the ability to fly. Charles was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sentenced to stay at the high security Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon, where he has primarily resided since shortly after the murder occurred.
Julian Sands was initially considered for the role of Redferne and Richard E. Grant for the Warlock. Director Steve Miner opted to cast each of the actors against type by reversing their roles.
"Giles Redferne: [admonishing Kassandra after stopping her crashing the car] Let your attention lie before you, not beside you. Kassandra: Check this! Some guy from the seventeenth century telling ME how to drive. How quick they learn!"
"[the Channeler is faking the channeling of a spirit for the Warlock] Channeler: I have come - Zamiel. Ask... me... what... you... will. Warlock: I would ask that we wait. Channeler: For... what... do... we... wait? Warlock: For the true Zamiel to appear."
