TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The sounds of the police motorcycles are the sped-up sounds of women screaming together in a tiled bathroom.

George Lucas apparently named the film after his San Francisco telephone number, 849-1138, the letters THX correspond to letters found on the buttons 8, 4, and 9.

Very little make-up was used on the actors and actresses, to give them a look of authenticity.

The final part of the chase where the police motorcyclist crashes into a fallen paint stand, flies over the handlebars, gets hit by the airborne motorcycle, lands on his back and slams into the crashed car, was achieved without dummies. Everyone at the location was stunned, and immediately ran in to ensure that stuntman Duffy Hambleton was alright. According to George Lucas, it turned out that Hamilton was perfectly fine, apart from being angry with the people who had run into the shot to check on him. He was worried that they might have ruined the stunt he had just performed by walking into the frame.

To provide the large number of extras required, George Lucas contacted the Synanon drug rehabilitation facility. He found many recovering drug users who were required to be shaved bald for the drug program anyway. The Synanon Facility is mentioned in Philip K Dick's science fiction novel "Valis".
