Director Kathryn Bigelow found that no existing camera system could accomplish the shots necessary for the point-of-view sequences, so the research division of Lightstorm Entertainment (the company of writer/producer James Cameron, who was Bigelow's husband at the time) spent a full year designing and fabricating a special camera for the production. Weighing only 8 pounds, the 35mm camera literally fit in the palm of the hand and featured interchangeable lenses, remote follow focus, and video assist (necessary since the camera had no viewfinder). The camera was then mounted on a SteadiCam-style portable rig, which gave the camera stability and mobility similar to the human eye.
Juliette Lewis did all her own vocals for the film for the performance her character, Faith, gives at the club.
The movie's title comes from the Album "Strange Days" by The Doors and a cover version of the album's title track is played in the movie.
The party scene was an actual rave; it was promoted by Phillip Blaine and it was called "Millennium"; Aphex Twin, Lady Miss Kier and Doc Martin, among others, were among the live performers.
James Cameron did extensive editing work, especially on the final action sequences, but he could not be credited because he was not in the editors union. He joined before making Titanic (1997) and is credited as an editor on that film.
"Mace: This is your life, right here, right now! It's real-time, you hear me, real time! Time to get real, not playback. You understand me?"
"Max: The issue's not whether you're paranoid, Lenny, I mean look at this shit, the issue is whether you're paranoid enough."
