Anecdotes:

Hector Elizondo's character of Cobb is named after the film's production designer, Ron Cobb. Also, 'Michael Carmine''s character of Tony 'DeJesus' Rodero, shares the same last name of the film's first assistant director, 'Kuki Lopez Rodero'.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Six Pack falls off the ridge, you see him walking among some large tube worms. Immediately before him saying "My God", the worm to his left clearly shows a vertical seam where the left/right pieces of the worm were glued together.

Guillemet:

Steven Beck: [as he fights Leviathan] See you topside
Elizabeth 'Willie' Williams: Get into your suit... Beck get into your suit
Justin Jones: [Beck jetisons them out of the complex] Beck don't be a fool

Features Luxo Jr. (1986)

Slightly better than expected.

The first half of "Leviathan" is competently made and surprisingly absorbing, with strongly drawn characters and good acting all around. In the second half, the film degenerates into an "Alien" rip-off (and later on, it even steals a classic scene from "Jaws"), with derivative special effects and too many familiar elements. But it is saved (and gets 6/10) by Cosmatos' professionalism; he certainly redeems himself here for making the absolutely terrible "Cobra" three years earlier.
