Harry Stamper: [Refering to asteroid right before he blows the nuke] Complain all you want, you son of a bitch.
Mistakes
It's explained in detail how the impact will cause a horrible freak tide, what it will do, and that one half of mankind will die in the nuclear winter. That´s absolutely irrelevant. The asteroid is "as big as Texas," that means several hundred of miles. Such an impact is called ELE (Extinction Level Event). A bigger part of the Pacific Ocean would evaporate immediately, so no matter if a wave or not. The earth would become "sterilized." So no lifeform will live long enough to die in a winter. (So it is nonsensical to compare that impact with the event 65 million years ago. It's much different.) See more...
Trivia
At the beginning of the movie, the dog Reggie, is attacking the vendor's blow-up doll of Godzilla. This is probably due to the fact that the movies Godzilla and Armageddon came out during the summer of 1998, and were in direct competition with each other. See more...
After Sharpe and Stamper have the argument on the asteroid, Truman says they need the radio back up. When he says this, you see the countdown clock for the asteroid which is at five hours and 12 minutes. A bit later in the film, after the nuke was shut down by a technician at NASA, one of the military officers takes the terminal. In the background, you can see the clock again but the time on it is at six hours and 49 minutes.
