Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Trancers 6: Life After Deth (2002)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Blockbuster Video declined to carry the film, saying it didn't want sci-fi movies, but the screener DVDs it was sent were accidentally defective and contained no film; Full Moon then halted post-production and released a rough cut with rushed sound and incomplete effects.
- Tim Thomerson declined to reprise Jack Deth because the production was non-union and budget-constrained, though he stayed on as an uncredited acting advisor; Jack Deth appears only briefly, using footage from earlier Trancers films and a body double.
- Filming began around September 11, 2001, which complicated scenes involving guns in public, and one scene with a fire extinguisher led to an anthrax scare.
- The studio mandated a "passing of the torch" to a female lead, believing Tim Thomerson was too old for the leading role; Maggie Grace showed interest, but union restrictions blocked her casting, so newcomer Zette Sullivan took the role instead.
- C. Courtney Joyner's earlier script was too expensive to produce, so a new script was written in less than two weeks, with further edits in pre-production to accommodate the low budget.
- An early idea was to expand on the then-lost short Trancers: City of Lost Angels, but Charles Band claimed to know where the footage was and never followed up with the crew, so the idea was scrapped.
