- It takes several hours to fill up and drain water for the sound stage with the upside-down set of the ship.

- The cast and crew of the movie had minor infections for being stuck in dirty water for several hours a day.
- The movie's cast refused to climb the set of the upside-down engine room because it looks so real that they might fall from it. The set designers and builders climbed it first to prove them that the set is safe.
