What's left behind the scenes
- In the film, the image of Christ blessing from Hans Memling's painting "Christ Blessing" (1478) is used as an image of divinity in special confession booths.
- George Lucas subsequently made several references to his first film in his later works. For example, the car number "THX 138" appears in "American Graffiti" (1973).
- The heads of "Warner Brothers" studio disliked the finished version of the film, and a decision was made to reduce the film's runtime and decrease the marketing budget.
- The film was shot in San Francisco, Berkeley, and San Rafael – cities in the state of California.
- This film is an expanded version of the director's 15-minute student graduation work, “THX 1138 4EB,” which received high praise and the opportunity to make a full-length version at Francis Ford Coppola's “American Zoetrope” studio, for which this film was the first.
- In 2004, an updated director's cut of the film was released on DVD with additional scenes and digital special effects, with a runtime of 88 minutes.
- Fragments of the film's soundtrack (an episode of a man being beaten by prison guards) were used by musician Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in the album The Downward Spiral, the track “Mr Self Destruct.”
- The final scene of the film uses music from the first part of Johann Sebastian Bach's “St Matthew Passion.”
- Shaved-headed commoners in the film were played by patients from the Synanon drug rehabilitation center in California.
- According to George Lucas's vision, the characters embody the concepts of sex and love, which is reflected in the names of the main characters – THX and LUH, which respectively sound similar to the words 'sex' and 'love'.
- The scene of the android police officers chasing the fugitives was filmed in the machine room of a large telephone exchange, meaning the endless rows of electronic equipment were telephone systems.
