- John Carpenter's first feature film, which also serves as his thesis project.
- The computer screen displays the phrase "FUCK YOU HARRIS" addressed to producer Jack H. Harris (1918-2017), which is an unprintable version of "Go away, Harris." His relationship with director John Carpenter was strained during filming.
