The title "An Affirming Flame" comes from the poem "September 1, 1939" by W.H.Auden :

"May I, composed like them
Of Eros and dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame." (Interpretation)

The german title "Fiat Lux" (lat. "Let there be light") comes from the bible (Genesis 1, 3): "dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux", in english: "And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light."

Varastaya (female Cyborg) and one of the mercenary (the one with the tanktop) has severela different costume designs. Filmed but not used were the versions Varastaya as "Dominatrix Kitty" and zhe mercenary as "Elvis, the pig".
The scene in which they look out of the escape pod was called the "the pig and the cat in the dryer" scene
