Corrected entry: When THX1138 is driving the car with two officers on motorcycles in pursuit; he hits a row of markers that scatter all over the expressway, which is completely paved. When one of the officers brakes to avoid hitting the markers and falls off, we can see that he falls into a bed of a dirt or sand. It makes for a softer landing I guess.

Correction: So what? Most freeways and the like have dirt or grass on the sides, so in case of a wreck nobody falls off a paved gorge.

Corrected entry: The people in the movie are supposed to be underground unexposed to daylight, yet they have very nice suntans.

Correction: Even we have tanning beds,creams and pills... it's not very unrealistic.

Visible crew/equipment: When LUH 3417 closes the door of the medicine cabinet because she doesn't have the right to take more pills, there's a reflection of a crew member's hand retaining a door.

Question: The number 1138 gets referenced in many later Lucas-related projects. What, if any, is the original significance of the number?

Answer: It's been widely suggested that Lucas based the title on his telephone number at the time. The first three digits corresponded to T,H and X on the keypad - the last four were 1138.
