• The concept of the chemical element selenium being present in 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo, which plays an important role in the plot, is technically correct. While regular 'Head and Shoulders' does not contain selenium, a special 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo for intensive hair care actually consists of approximately 1% selenium sulfide.
• Filming took place from October 19, 2000, to February 2001 in the states of California and Arizona.
• Actor Kevin Dunn appeared as a doctor in an unused alternate ending, where it was revealed that Dr. Block was infected with a giant alien dragonfly that had laid its eggs inside him.
• When the Governor of Arizona presents awards to the film's heroes, Nadine with a 'Miss Arizona' sash can be seen in the background. Earlier in the film, she mentioned that she dreamed of winning the 'Miss Arizona' title.
• The 'Head and Shoulders' shampoo commercial in the film featuring three main characters was the idea of director Ivan Reitman's son.
• For the role in 'Evolution', David Duchovny turned down a supporting role in George Lucas's much more prestigious film 'Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones' (2002).
