Movie Quote(s):
- Prot: Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.
-
Prot: Let me tell you something, Mark. You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of an eye for an eye, a life for a life, which is known throughout the universe for its... stupidity.
-
Prot: Even your Buddha and your Christ had quite a different vision. But nobody's paid much attention to them, not even your Buddhists and your Christians.
-
Prot: I shall miss Earth, it has great potential.
-
Prot: Why is a soap bubble round? Because it is the most energy efficient configuration. Similarly, on your planet I look like you; on K-Pax I look like a K-PAXian.
Movie Trivia:
- In the novel, one of Prot's favorite movies is Starman (1984).
-
The yearbook picture of Robert Porter is the actual picture of Kevin Spacey that appears in the 1977 Chatsworth High School yearbook.
-
The shades worn by Kevin Spacey were actually borrowed from U2's Bono who insisted that they be returned after the movie wrapped.
-
The original plan was that Will Smith was to play Prot and Kevin Spacey Dr. Mark Powell. When Smith pulled out of the role, Spacey decided to play Prot.
-
Throughout the movie sparkles of light can be seen in the background of almost all scenes, more accurately in the Power's office when he talks with Prot.
