### Other Info:

* **Christopher Walken**'s voicework was so excellent that Cutter's role was expanded. He was originally a faceless lackey to General Mandible, but Walken brought some unexpected depths to the character.
* **Arnold Schwarzenegger** was originally offered the part of Weaver. When **Schwarzenegger** wanted to be paid for the role, it went to **Sylvester Stallone**, who was willing to do it for free.
* **Sarah Jessica Parker** had recorded dialogue for this movie, but was later fired for unspecified reasons. She was replaced by **Sharon Stone**.
* **Woody Allen** recorded his part as "Z" in only five days.
* **James Earl Jones** were considered the role of Barbatus.
* **Matthew Broderick** were considered the role of Z.
* **Stephen Root** were considered the role of Colonel Cutter.
