Trivia:
Jennifer Jason Leigh had already finished shooting her role in Eyes Wide Shut (1999) when she took on this role. When her scenes in that film required re-shooting, the schedule required for it interfered with this one. Leigh chose to stay on this film and her role in Eyes Wide Shut was re-cast. (more)

Goofs:
Continuity: When Pikul is extracting the tooth from Allegra's shoulder, the sleeve of her top is rolled down. In the next shot after it comes out, her shoulder is covered again, but Pikul's hand resting on it hasn't moved. (There are deliberate costume discontinuities in this movie, when the characters shift in and out of eXistenZ, but this isn't one of them.) (more)

Quotes:
Allegra: Oh God!
Ted: What happened?
Allegra: The whole pod just disappeared into your back.
Ted: It disappeared into my back? It's in my spine? It's working its way around my spinal cord?
Allegra: Don't panic, it's just a game.
