Movie Trivia:
- Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen met and fell in love during the filming of Time After Time (1979). They later got married (but it didn't last).
-
The role of Amy Robbins went to Mary Steenburgen. However, the studio had wanted Sally Field. Director Nicholas Meyer's first choice was his girlfriend, Shelley Hack. She reportedly didn't want to become famous due to her boyfriend - but she did accept a small role as a docent at the museum H.G. Wells transports into.
-
The studio had wanted Richard Dreyfuss for the role of H.G. Wells. Director Nicholas Meyer's first choice was Derek Jacobi, but then he decided on Malcolm McDowell, being a big fan of Lindsay Anderson.
-
Corey Feldman's first film role.
-
In the scene in which John visits Shirley's apartment, a poster from the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies can be seen. Stephen Sondheim had contributed an original song ("I Never Do Anything Twice") to The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976), Nicholas Meyer's previous film.
