Movie Quote(s):
- Jenny Lerner: When I was 11, I stole $32 from your wallet. Jason Lerner: When you were a baby I once dropped you on your head.
-
President Beck: Life will go on, we will prevail.
-
Mark: How do we set the nukes inside the comet and get out before they blow? Orin Monash: We don't. Andrea: Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us.
-
Jason Thurman: Hey Leo, you're going to have more sex than anyone in our class!

Alan Rittenhouse: I know you're just a reporter, but you used to be a person, right?
Movie Trivia:
- When Marcus Wolf (Charles Martin Smith) is trying to send email about the approaching comet, we see the first few entries in his e-mail inbox. Two of the messages are from "cshoemaker arizona.unv", one of which has the subject line "101 Mir jokes". Carolyn Shoemaker and Eugene Shoemaker are well-known comet experts, credited as "comet advisors" to the movie.
-
After discovering the comet, one of the astronomers is killed in a car accident. This mirrors the real life car accident death (July 18 1997, in outback Australia) of astronomer Eugene Shoemaker, who helped discover the Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet.
-
One of the NASA officials in the movie is played by Gerry Griffin, who is a former NASA flight director. Griffin presided over the Apollo 12 mission and later became director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
-
Joshua Colwell, who played one of the NASA officials in mission control, was also a technical advisor on the film.
-
The movie begins in the year 1998, where Leo and Sarah's astronomy club is on top of the hills looking at stars and where Dr. Wolf died in a car crash. A year passes, and it's 1999, the year when President Tom Beck announces to the world that a comet would threaten to hit the Earth in one year on August 16. Therefore, the date of the Wolf-Beiderman impact is predicted to occur on 16 August 2000.
