Life Imitates Art: In one episode, a woman who had a chunk of her spine shot out by a gun turret was able to have screaming orgasms by having the remaining nerves dangling from the gap stimulated with surgical tools. In what's probably the weirdest example of this ever, a few years later some doctors tried this in real life and found it actually works.
What Could Have Been: Cryo Interactive was set to make a game based on the animated series for the PlayStation 1, but it was never officially released. However, it was reformulated into a game called Pax Corpus that was stripped of any references to the series.
Writer Revolt: According to Peter Chung, Æon Flux was first conceived out of his frustration with the creative limitations held over him while working on the pilot for Rugrats.
Director Karyn Kusama doesn't have a good opinion of the result, calling it a result of a management reshuffled that caused the film to be taken away from her in post-production.
Disowned Adaptation: Peter Chung was very, very unhappy with the movie. Considering Æon is revealed to be a clone of the original Trevor Goodchild's wife, Chung insisted that this version is not the real Æon is any sense of the word.
Executive Meddling: The film suffered this as the studio took control in post-production, chopped out 30 minutes and had the original score (by Theodore Shapiro) replaced by a score by Graeme Revell.
No Stunt Double: Charlize Theron did most of her own stunts. Production was even delayed for over a month while she recuperated from a neck injury she sustained while slipping during stunt training.
Not Screened for Critics: Peter Chung once claimed to have felt "helpless, humiliated and sad" upon seeing the film adaptation of his work. Apparently, this movie wasn't even screened for him (his sole allowed contribution was a single hour-and-a-half meeting with the people writing/directing it).
On-Set Injury: Production was delayed for over a month while Charlize Theron recuperated from a neck injury she sustained while slipping during stunt training.
Refitted for Sequel: The PS1 game that eventually became Pax Corpus would have featured people being repeatedly resurrected through cloning as a plot point.
from the get-go that the film would flop and was so afraid of it killing her career that she accepted the role of Rita on Arrested Development so she could remain in the public eye.
