• When shown on the American channel 'Sci-Fi' on November 15, 1998, the film was cut by 29 minutes.
• During its release in the United Kingdom, many scenes of violence and sex were cut, while on the DVD, two erotic scenes were added instead.
• The length of the edited film reel for this picture is 4067 meters.
• Juliette Lewis, who played Faith, a punk-rock singer and Lenny's former girlfriend, wrote all of her vocal numbers herself and performed them personally.
• The main character Lenny Nero’s car is a “Mercedes-Benz S500,” which was only mass-produced in 1997. For the film, the manufacturer provided one of the first prototypes.
• The surname of the hero who makes a living trading memories recorded on optical discs is Nero. The Nero company, whose most famous product is a suite of optical disc burning software, was founded in the same year the film premiered.
• One of the characters in the film states in an interview that the state’s social programs don’t work, but movies about the Titanic are being made. Notably, James Cameron, who had not yet finished filming 'Titanic' at the time of the film’s premiere, is one of the screenwriters.
• The film is named after The Doors’ album Strange Days.
• One of the predictions made on TV was the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Muammar Gaddafi in the coming 21st century.
• Playing in a rock band in the plot, Juliette Lewis sings P.J. Harvey's songs Rid of Me (1993) and Hardly Wait. Eight years later, she founded her own rock band, Juliette and the Licks.
• Jericho One was driving a foreign jeep – a brand-new yellow Soviet UAZ – in the scene of his murder.
