- The movie marked Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds's fourth collaboration. Star Kevin Costner and director Kevin Reynolds worked on three films together prior to Waterworld: Fandango (1985), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), and Rapa Nui (1994).
- Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made at the time of its release. Before it was first screened to the public, Waterworld had already gained a notorious reputation for being the most expensive film of all time.
- The movie's production was troubled from the start. Much of the blame for Waterworld going over its budget and schedule was the result of bad luck. There were numerous injuries and disasters on-set: Kevin Costner’s stunt double Norman Howell nearly died of an embolism when he surfaced too quickly during a deep-sea dive, and Costner had his own near-death experience when he got caught in a squall while tied to a 40-foot boat mast.
