When the Old Man is showing Logan some of the portraits that used to hang on the walls of the Capitol, a portrait of former President Richard Nixon was originally included, with the line "They used to call him tricky... something." According to Michael Anderson, the gag was considered too controversial at the time.
The "Love Shop" sequence originally ran about four minutes, but required re-editing for the movie to be granted a PG rating. A scene with Box making a nude ice sculpture of Logan and Jessica was also cut. A scene with several characters visiting the "Hallucimill" shop in Arcade was cut for its depiction of drug use. All of the additional footage and its background music were lost in what is now known as "the great MGM purge", when studio owner Kirk Kerkorian sold off what he could of the studio's extensive archives, and threw out the rest.
In the original novel, the colors of the Life Clock change every seven years: yellow (birth-6), blue (7-13), red (14-20), red and black on Lastday, and black at 21. According to the audio commentary, the movie changed it to 30 because it wasn't realistic to have a cast with all of the characters under 21.
The "carousel" sequence is one of the most complex flying wire stunts ever done for a movie. A circular rig was constructed above the set, designed to rotate in sync with the revolving floor plate below. Initially, the performers were all supported by a single winch driving the mechanism for their thin support cables. The cables became tangled during rehearsal. Each stuntman had to be untangled and brought down from the rig in a maintenance lift. The rig was redesigned so each stuntman was on his own separate winch, with all of the winches connected to a "panic" switch that cut the power in an emergency. For reversal shots, the white crystal on the arena ceiling was built on the floor of the stage, and the performers were lowered down towards it. These shots were then filmed upside-down, to make it appear that the performers were moving upward.
Peter Ustinov improvised much of his dialogue.
"Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started. Logan: What other food? Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton..."
"Logan: Who are you? Box: I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two. Don't you agree? Wait for the winds. Then my birds sing. And the deep grottos whisper my name. Box... Box... Box..."
