Feature film debut of Michael J. Fox, who was cast because the movie was shot predominantly at night and they needed an actor who was over 18 but could pass for 15. The studio heads were initially unconvinced, so they did makeup tests to make him look as young as possible and then did a photo shoot in which he was placed next to the tallest cast members. This did the trick and landed him the job.

The stop motion animation series Robot Chicken (2001) (shown on Adult Swim) has featured brief homages to this movie, two in season one, episode ten, "Badunkadunk", and one in season two, episode six, "1987". In the first episode, two scenes from the movie are reenacted, one where Leon reveals himself to the team leaders, another, where Blue Team member Barf assembles the letters of a clue into the nonsense word "Fagabeefe". In the second episode, the chant of "Meat Machine" is reenacted.
The movie inspired Joe Belfiore, a high school junior in Clearwater, Florida, to create a similar game. He took the game with him to Stanford University, then ultimately to Microsoft. The Game, as it came to be called, in turn, inspired the movie The Game (1997).
Disney released this movie, its second to be rated "PG" by the MPAA (the first being The Black Hole (1979)), without any mention of its involvement, in hopes that teenage audiences might be more likely to see it if they didn't know that it was a Disney picture. However, the cover art of the 2004 DVD release of the movie credits the movie to Walt Disney Pictures.
"Lucille: Harold, how long are you gonna keep driving around without knowing where we're going? Harold: Barf, have you finished unscrambling those letters yet? Barf: [finishes unscrambling letters] Fagabeefe? Haha. Fagabeefe. Hey, Melio - fagabeefe. Harold: [shouts] *Shut up*!"
"Melio: [loudly, to wake up Lucille] No, Harold, there *aren't* any cookies left!"
