All four of the real H.G. Wells' children were still alive at the time of this film's release.
Malcolm McDowell listened to recordings of H.G. Wells to prepare for the role. According to him, Wells' voice was high-pitched and Cockney-accented, so he decided not to imitate it.
Wells always refers to his time machine simply as "the time machine" or "the machine." When the machine is first shown, however, the name "Argo" is visible on the front. This is the name H.G. Wells gave to his machine in the novel that inspired the film.
A deleted scene featured Wells meeting a punk who was playing extremely loud boom-box music on a bus in San Francisco. Nicholas Meyer later reused this idea in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).
The movie's title inspired Cyndi Lauper's song "Time After Time", when in 1983 she browsed through a copy of TV Guide for "imaginary song titles".
"[H.G. Wells eats at a McDonald's] H.G. Wells: Pomme frites! Fries are pomme frites!"
"Jack the Ripper: Ninety years ago I was a freak. Today I'm an amateur."
