Added DiffLines:
** JeffBridges was not the original or intended choice for Flynn. According to Lisberger the character of Flynn was originally envisioned as a thinner, more stereotypical "nerdy" type of guy as one might imagine a computer programmer to look as opposed to Bridges, who is a fairly big, rugged, stocky man, but he just brought so much energy to the role that they just had to cast him.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Tron's DeathGlare during the disc duel near the beginning. Lisberger was pissing Boxleitner off, challenging his acting, while Frisbees were being whipped at him. The final take had Tron catching the Frisbee ''behind his head'' and whipping it back - while glaring at his "opponent". He was actually ''glaring at Lisberger'' as a TakeThat.[[note]]Lisberger loved it, and grinned back.[[/note]]

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Sort of -- the film is based in an '80s supercomputer, and the angular look was a deliberate aesthetic choice to make ''TRON'' look like a 16-bit world.

* ThrowItIn: When the prints came back from Taiwan, there were often errors in the frames. Since it would cost ''way'' to much to have it done over, Lisberger had a EurekaMoment and realized, of ''course'' the computer world would have ''electric glitches''. So, basically, he added a sound effect and it became ''atmosphere''.

He was finally convinced, and was happy that he was, stating that the sailer was far more beautiful, delicate and butterfly-like with translucent wings.
