Movie Quote(s):
- Alex Gardner: [talking about his current lifestyle] Sounds like you disapprove. Doctor Paul Novotny: You're damn right I disapprove! You've got tremendous gifts, and you've chosen to piss them all away.
-
Alex Gardner: You had Tommy Ray kill that woman in the dream link, didn't you? Bob Blair: Yes. Alex Gardner: Why? Bob Blair: I wanted to see if it could be done. Alex Gardner: You're a real humanitarian, Blair. Bob Blair: I'm a realist. We live in a dangerous, hostile world. I will do whatever I have to, to keep this country safe. Alex Gardner: Yeah, that's what scares me. Bob Blair: You're a very intelligent young man, Alex. You've mastered an amazing technique. Surely, you can see the possibilities. During his dream link with Matusik, Tommy Ray stabbed her with a knife. A dream knife. The shock to Matusik's system caused a coronary and she died. So, the old wives' tale comes true after all. When you dream that you die, you die in life, at the very same instant. Now we can go into an enemy's dream, kill him, and make it look as if he died in his sleep. Do you realize what that means? Alex Gardner: That means no-one's safe from you.

Tommy Ray Glatman: In this world, Alex, you're nothing. And me, I'm God.

George Webber: You too, Fukota?

Tommy Ray Glatman: [Alex turns into Tommy's father] Daddy? Daddy, I'm sorry!
Movie Trivia:
- Dennis Quaid was the first and only choice for Alex Gardner, after the producers loved his dedication for the role and the project during it's pre-production stage.
-
Originally the producers wanted Maurice Jarre to write the music for the film orchestrally, but Jarre insisted on scoring the film electronically because he felt that it was the right approach for the material and also sets the tone of the film.
-
Was the second film to be Rated PG-13 under then new MPAA ratings guidelines following Red Dawn (1984), which had come out weeks prior to this film's release.
-
Originally there was a love scene involving Alex and Jane that was supposed to have taken place in the middle of the film involving nudity, but it was deleted for pacing issues and also because of the MPAA's new PG-13 rating guidelines. The love scene was featured in the film theatrically and on its original video release, but for its "Image" dvd release a PG edited cut print or TV version of the film was used for the transfer.
