Trivia:
Screewnwriter Todd Farmer based much of Jason X on Alien, even naming one of the characters (who he would incidentally play) Dallas, after Tom Skerritt's character in the Ridley Scott film.
The spaceship in the movie is called "Grendel", named after the villain in the famous narrative poem Beowulf. Grendel was a monstrous killer.
It had four different U.S. release dates before it was finally released.
Several of the characters in the film are named after screenwriter Todd Farmer's online friends in the PC game "EverQuest".
