Notes
- The film is dedicated in memory of Lynne Thigpen, who passed away during the scriptwriting process.
- Scott Bakula's cameo is accompanied by Mike Post's theme from
Quantum Leap.
- Bakula is pretty much using his cameo as part of his redemption tour after his American version of
Doctor Who (known derisively by fanboys as
Doctor Yank) earned him the nickname Scott Dracula.
- Hans Zimmer sneaks Alan Silvestri's theme from
Back to the Future into his score. He also uses melodies from David Newman's score for
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter make their cameo together.
- The script called for the Chronoskimmer from the game show to be the main time traveling device. At the last minute, Universal Pictures licensed the DeLorean time machine to appear in the film because Universal was on the brink of bankruptcy when production began.
- Michael J. Fox was unable to make a cameo due to rapidly worsening Parkinson's symptoms. On
Team Atlantis, should Michael experience further cognitive decline, the role of Milo Thatch will likely go to either Mark Hamill, Hayden Christensen, Devon Sawa or James Marsden.
- Matt Frewer plays the floating head chief from the
Where on Earth animated series (below).
