Film Trivia

  • All of the cast members were going to wear different coloured wigs but director James Wong decided that it would make the film unrealistic. Instead, Emmy Rossum has a blue streak dyed into her hair and Justin Chatwin has his spiked.
  • It took four hours to apply make-up and prosthetics to James Marsters to transform him into Piccolo. It originally took much longer but Marsters had difficulty breathing so some prosthetics were removed.
  • The role of Piccolo was originally offered to Ron Perlman but he dropped out to star in Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
  • Emmy Rossum and Joon Park's characters develop a relationship in the film. Because of this they decided to bond before making the film and they traded music CDs to get a good idea of each other's tastes.
  • Luis Arrieta, who plays Weaver, filmed all of his scenes in one day.
