- The script of the film was written by Nick Frost and Simon Peggy himself.
- In order to film the scene of the San Diego Animation Convention, director Greg Mottola recreated the show at the Albuquerque Convention Center. However, in order to avoid further inconvenience, some changes were made to the interior scenes of the San Diego Animation Conference in the film, and the street scenes were still shot on site.
- Paul in the film is also the only character in the film created by CGI.
- Paul's appearance and actions (such as smoking, lazy person) look like the alien Roger in "Papa Agent", which is quite controversial.
- Simon Page thinks that the most ironic thing in the filming is that they chose to shoot in the United States with good weather in order to avoid the bad rain in the United Kingdom. As a result, the weather in New Mexico turned out to be worse than that in the United Kingdom. The thunderstorm delayed for several hours.
- Nick Frost gave the character shoulder-length hair.
- During Nick Frost and Simon Peggy’s journey through the western United States, their RV battery was frozen due to a heavy snowfall and a sudden drop in temperature.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost made the film to demonstrate their love for Steven Spielberg's science fiction classics Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and ET the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When Spielberg got wind of the project, he happily suggested that he make a cameo appearance of some sort, in this case a voice on a speakerphone.
