In the scene where Alex and his Droogs break into the writer's house, Alex starts to sing 'Singing in the Rain'. This came about after Stanley Kubrick asked Malcolm McDowell whether he could sing during the scene; Malcolm chose that song as it was the only song he knew the words to, start to finish.

The scene where Alex has sex with the two girls in fast forward wasn't done as an artistic statement, Kubrick just sped the scene up so he could get it past the censors and the MPAA.

During the filming of the Ludovico scene, Malcolm McDowell actually had one of his corneas scratched. He states that he didn't realize it until he was leaving the set that night and the anesthetic wore off. He also states that it felt like someone hammered a nail into his eye.

The movie is actually not the entire story of the book. The US release was published without the final chapter because Burgess' New York publisher thought it was a kill joy and believed US audiences wouldn't like it. Despite the fact that the directer was English, he decided to write the movie based on the US version, thus leaving out the final chapter.

Stanley Kubrick introduced Basil, Alex's pet snake, only after he discovered that Malcolm MacDowell is terrified of snakes in real life.

The opening scene for A Clockwork Orange is spoofed in the opening for "Conker's Bad Fur Day" (a game for the Nintendo 64). Both movie and video game have Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary" playing while the camera zooms out, showing both Alex and Conker drinking a glass of milk.

Mick Jagger, the lead vocalist of the Rolling Stones, originally owned the rights to adapt the novel into a movie. He would have played Alex, with the other Stones playing his "droogs".
