A LaserDisc copy of the film is on display at the International Friendship Exhibition in North Korea.
The YouTube channel, RedLetterMedia, owned (at least) 104 VHS copies of the film, before finally destroying all but one in a wood chipper in a 2022 video. This was in an attempt to see if it would raise the worth of their remaining sealed copy that they had professionally graded. They later put the graded Nukie VHS up for auction where the proceeds would go to two charities (St. Jude and Wisconsin Humane Society). By the auction's end, in early January 2023, the final bid was $80,600.
Seven editors worked on this film.
Oddly, some foreign markets feature the cover artwork from Mac and Me (1988) on its home release.
On The Cinema Snob (2007), Brad Jones declared it not only the worst film he's reviewed, but the worst film he's ever seen.
