details

• According to actors who auditioned for various roles in the production, the main children's parts are to be contracted for not only a sequel but also a possible television series on the cable Disney Channel.
  
  
• Actress Lynda Carter was initially given gold bracelets to wear as an homage to her 1970s Wonder Woman role. Warner Bros., who owns copyright to the Wonder Woman character, didn't want the bracelets shown in a Disney movie so they were removed from Carter's wardrobe for the film. She did however get to say the line "I'm not Wonder Woman you know" in one of the last scenes of the movie.
  
  
• While Kurt Russell's suit had a cooling system, a tube where iced water circulated, Kelly Preston's didn't because it was so tight.
  
  

• The phone number for Stronghold Realty is 800-656-1482, which is a number at ABC, which is owned by Disney. The voicemail message is.: "Thank you for calling ABC, the number you have reached is a fictional non-working number used for motion picture, and television production." The number can be seen near the end of the movie when Mr., and Mrs. Timmerman are admiring their new house, which is about to be crushed by Sky High, the camera pans by the Stronghold Realty sign.
  
  
• The comment Mr. Boy makes about sidekicks not wearing costumes with colors that clash with their hero's is a jab at comics' most famous hero/sidekick team, Batman and Robin. Where Batman wears dark colors (blue and gray) Robin wears bright colors (Red, green and yellow)
  
  
• The walls of Will's room are covered in various posters. One of the posters by his desk is a poster for Tenacious D.

• Warren Peace's name sounds like “War and Peace”, the classic novel. The name hints at the basic theme of the film.
  
  
• All the boys wear Converse high tops in the colour of their character. This is a nod back to “The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes”, filmed by Disney (who filmed “Sky High”) and starred Kurt Russell.
  
  
• The role of Speed was intended to be for an exceptionally athletic boy, but when Will Harris auditioned, the casting director found him so like-able that the role was changed to accommodate his larger stature.
