As the voice of the computer, Bud Cort had to deliver his entire performance from inside a box on the set; his co-stars were never allowed to see him during filming. The director was afraid that if the other performers associated a person to the voice, they would react to it as if they were talking to a human being instead of a computer and the difference in reaction would show on camera.
Phil Oakey of the Human League admitted in an interview that he put a joke in the song "Together in Electric Dreams" that no one ever got. The line "Although you're miles and miles away" was word play on the lead character's name.
(at 56:00) In the dream musical sequence, Edgar the computer dreams of electric sheep jumping a fence, while Miles dozes off to sleep. The reference is to author Philip K. Dick's (1968) science fiction novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Dick's stories typically focus on the fragile nature of what is real and the construction of personal identity. This is borne out by Miles', "I'm not what I seem to be".
The modules that Miles uses to control his appliances and other various items in his house is very similar to X-10 automation, which did exist during the time period and is still around in the present time.
Virginia Madsen revealed in a 2011 interview with Kevin Pollak that she had bought the remake rights to this film, but couldn't get any studio interested in making it.
"Miles Harding: "You can play it for her, you can play it for me." Edgar: What? Miles Harding: Play it, Sam. Edgar: What key? Miles Harding: Your favorite. Edgar: You want verses first, or the choruses? Miles Harding: Any way you like. Edgar: Yeah! [instrumental bridge of Jeff Lynne's song "Video" plays] Edgar: [singing] Hug, hold, squeeze and lick / Darling, I love you to bits / And I want to see your tits."
"Miles Harding: Sweet dreams. Edgar: What's a dream? Miles Harding: A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. Edgar: [skeptical] Who says? Miles Harding: Walt Disney. Sleeping Beauty, nineteen... fifty. Edgar: No, it was Cinderella, 1949. Miles Harding: [exasperated] Good *night*! Edgar: [cheekily] 'Night."
