The film contains 34 visual effects shots.
A scene which was scripted but not filmed, involved the musical's producer encountering (and ultimately ignoring) a group of angry protesters outside the theater.
Also filmed, but cut from the final film was a running joke involving Vadim's assistant attempting to track down some missing Weapons of Mass Destruction props.
In the original script, the following songs were included in the musical:
- "Saddam and the Dance of the WMDs"
- "The Republi-can-can"
- "This Has Absolutely Nothing Whatsoever to do With Oil"
- "Ready, Fire, Aim!"
