Tron/Trivia


 * The original TRON animation created by Lisberger Studios was marketed by Steve Lisberger as a television advertisement for various radio stations.
 * The Tron Lines on the helicopter in the opening filmed sequence was neither CGI nor painted cel animation, but reflective tape placed on the helicopter and filmed with red lights from a distance.
 * Deleted Scene: Between Tron and Yori. After her takes her from the factory, they go back to her place, and have a "quiet" moment.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Show this one to a Babylon 5 fan. Boxlitner's obvious, as is the guy after the Holy Grail, but the future Centauri ambassador is harder to spot...
 * And you might also notice that Mr. The Kid plays Ram.
 * Harder to put a finger on, but the main bad of the movie, (all three of them) would 15 years later be Lovejoy in Titanic
 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: By the time of Tron: Legacy's release in 2010, the film was hard to find on either DVD or Netflix. Seemed weird, as studios normally use sequels to put some films back in the market (TRON only got that when Legacy hit shelves in 2011).
 * Talking to Himself: David Warner plays Dillinger, Sark, and the MCP. The MCP is shown to interact with the other two on numerous separate occasions.
 * What Could Have Been: The director asked Peter O'Toole to play Dillinger... however, he really wanted to play Tron.
 * On the DVD's "Making of" documentary, they explain that O'Toole bowed out after finding out that the majority of the film would be shot in front of blue-screen (or black, whatever) instead of on sets and locations.
 * Technically, any scenes in the electronic world that had actors in them were filmed on sets. They were just all black with backlit animation added in post-production.
