- Gwen Grayson is a combination of two comic book names from two franchises: Gwen Stacy of Spider-Man (Marvel) and Dick Grayson (DC Comics).
- While Kurt Russell's suit had a cooling system, a tube where iced water circulated, Kelly Preston's didn't because it was so tight.
- As shown in the deleted scenes, Royal Pain's costume was originally purple and gold before it was changed to black and gold in post-production.
- Actress Lynda Carter was initially given gold bracelets to wear as an homage to her 1970s Wonder Woman (1975) role. Warner Bros., who owns copyright to the Wonder Woman character, didn't want the bracelets shown in a Disney movie so they were removed from Carter's wardrobe for the film. She did however get to say the line "I'm not Wonder Woman, you know" in one of the last scenes of the movie.
- According to actors who auditioned for various roles in the production, the main children's parts are to be contracted for not only a sequel but also a possible television series on the cable Disney Channel.
