Some plot elements were borrowed from Isaac Asimov’s short story “Robot AL-76 Goes Astray” (1941).
During filming, “Johnny 5” was controlled by remote control. And the operating technicians spoke for the robot on camera to make it easier for the actors to imagine a sentient robot.
The robot couldn't move fast enough, so its footage had to be sped up during editing.
The 'Johnny 5' robot was the most expensive item in the film's budget. The remaining costs were not as significant.
When Stephanie gives a quick interview, the film's director John Badham can be seen operating the camera (a.k.a. a cameo appearance).
The most famous line from the film became: 'Life is not a malfunction.'
A video game was created based on the film.
