TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The first ever film to create 3D shading with a computer that produced the first ever CGI human character was the model Cindy (Susan Dey). This movie achieved this feat before Disney's more famous Tron (1982) hit the screens. The Web site Filmsite said of Cindy: "Her digitization was visualized by a computer-generated simulation of her body being scanned--notably the first use of shaded 3D CGI in a feature film. Polygonal models obtained by digitizing a human body were used to render the effects."

A soundtrack album was available as a promotional item by Warner Bros. Records, but it was never given an official release.

Michael Crichton managed to predict a future technology, CGI, with this film but put to more sinister applications. Crichton was always a skeptic about new technologies. CGI would later bring dinosaurs to life in one of his most successful stories, Jurassic Park (1993).

Writer-director Michael Crichton once said of this film: "Television commercials are already manipulative. That's exactly what they're supposed to do. I don't consider that kind of manipulation evil, but what would happen if someone with a bit more scientific knowledge began tampering with commercials?"

In the early 1980s Albert Finney was in such high demand that he made nine movies in three years. In fact, he ended his work on this movie on a Friday and went to work on the movie Shoot the Moon (1982) on the following Monday.

Popular Dialogues

"Cindy Fairmont: Hi. I'm Cindy. I'm the perfect female type: 18 to 25. I'm here to sell for you."

"Lisa Convey: You probably think I'm beautiful, Dr. Roberts, but I'm not. I have lots of defects to fix. I have a list right here. My nose is .2 millimeters too narrow. And my cheekbones are .4 millimeters too high. And my chin has a little .1 bump here. And my areola distance is 5 millimeters. And I have a mole here on my ribs. So I need plastic surgery."
