Trivia:
Arcade games were placed on the sets to inspire the actors. Jeff Bridges was reportedly the most adept at the games and found it hard to tear himself away from a game to shoot a scene.
Although this film was initially a failure, the arcade video games based on it proved to be a tremendous hit and actually out-grossed the film.
This film was disqualified from receiving an Academy Award nomination for special effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computers was "cheating".
