According to Ronald Shusett, back when the movie was originally being produced by Dino De Laurentiis, De Laurentiis had planned to shoot the ending completely differently from the original script because he felt the concept of Mars getting air was just "too difficult to visualize". This didn't sit well with Shusett, and the two had many arguments over it, even escalating to the point that Shusett had threatened to cancel the movie altogether, stating that he'd rather not see the movie get made if it's the way he intended it to be made. De Laurentiis eventually saw the error in his judgment when he suggested to director Richard Rush about altering the ending, to which Rush replied that he was "full of shit" and convinced him not to cut or alter the ending. De Laurentiis even approached Shusett, apologizing for giving him such a hard time and saying "Ron, you so stubborn I kiss you in the mouth! You save me!" De Laurentiis never did get to produce the movie, because his production company went bankrupt shortly afterward and the project ended up being sold to Mario Kassar's Carolco Pictures (at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger).
