Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- According to writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, the name "Station" came from a leftover editing typo: they had cut a scene labeled "INT. POLICE STATION" but left the "STATION" part dangling, and, overtired, found saying it in a tiny Martian voice hilarious enough to keep.
- Sadler won the role of Death by auditioning on tape in an accent borrowed from Czechoslovak actor Jan Tříska; asked to come back in aged makeup, he had Scott Eddo, the makeup supervisor on Die Hard 2, make him look authentically old, which he believed helped get him the part.
- The song Bill and Ted play for the battle of the bands is "Final Guitar Solo" by Steve Vai, who wrote it to blend into Kiss's "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II". Vai also plays all of the guitar riffs when the pair air guitar throughout the film.
