* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in_ZVmckrmU The Duel]]," in which a minuet from "Anna Magdalena's Notebook" is rendered as a contest between Madeline on her cello and Edgar producing electronic music.
** "Together In Electric Dreams" is a wonderfully done song from Giorgio Moroder and sung by the Human League's lead singer, and fitting for the last scene,. [[spoiler: Sure, Edgar decides IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and shuts down so that Miles and Madeline can be together, but the song at the end implies he [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended]] instead of "died"]].
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i0wRFjJjj4 Love Is Love]]" is the AwardBaitSong by Music/CultureClub, but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV95b6xcyFc The Dream]]" is usually considered the better song.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Edgar quickly correcting Miles on a quote is very common with web searching.
** Edgar is the first computer emoticon user!
** These days, people are instructed to shut their cellphones off before a theatrical production. Beepers weren't expected to start making ''ring tones'' though.
* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler:Edgar]]'s name isn't actually revealed until the end when he [[spoiler:commits suicide (sorta)]].
* MisattributedSong:
** No, "Together in Electric Dreams" is not from ''Film/ShortCircuit'' and was not performed by "The Human League," though it was by their lead singer.
** The "[[Music/JohannSebastianBach Bach]]" minuet has been discovered actually to have been written by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Petzold_(composer) Christian Petzold]].
* NarmCharm: There is a real nostalgic charm to the "Gosh-gee, the latest technology!" attitude of this film toward the (All-Too-)Personal Computer.
* RetroactiveRecognition: A removal man is played by Creator/MacMcDonald, who would later be best known for playing Captain Hollister in ''Series/RedDwarf''.
** Lenny Von Dohlen, who played Miles, would later play The Cop on ''Red Dwarf'' as well.
* TearJerker:
** [[spoiler:When Edgar, about to be hit by 40,000 volts of electricity, asks Miles to hold him before he "dies."]]
** Ask any computer hackers who have watched the movie to recollect that particular sequence. Chances are they'll get all misty-eyed.
