Trivia:
Shortly after production on this film began, Back to the Future Part II (1989) was released. The design team then went back to the drawing board to make the flying sleds used by the Zeist assassins in this film look less like the Spielberg/Zemeckis "Hoverboards".

i saw the premiere of this film in edinburgh at the odeon. the theatre was packed and having really enjoyed the first movie, like i guess most of the audience we were all really excited to be seeing the sequel. you can imagine our dissapointment. lots of ppl, including us , left 20 mins before the end, quite a few patrons were quite angry at how ineptly bad it was. having recently seen it again on cable it is still utterly woeful. i would rather go and clean the toilet than sit thru it again. on second thoughts i'd rather come and clean your toilet and i don't like clieaning toilets and don't know you. get the idea???
