- AnecdotesPaul Haggis wrote the original screenplay. By the time the movie was greenlit, the Writer's Guild strike hit and Haggis refused to do any further writing on the movie. Production was passed to Canadian producer Damien Lee who rewrote the script. Haggis read the script and took his name off it - taking credit instead as "Bill Freed", his WGA pseudonym, and insisted Damien Lee take credit for his work.

Cliff: [disgusted] Your a cold son-of-a-bitch
Lem: That's right, I am. Remember I told you there were three biological experiments at Bannatyne. The Oxcom, the Dog, and their best animal. It's me Cliff, I'm the third experiment.

The uncut German version would later be released on DVD in 2004 by Kinowelt (now StudioCanal Germany) and is rated "not under 18".
