Trivia
The tram to Futureworld is the tunnel train at Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH), now George Bush Intercontinental Airport, in Houston, TX.

Goofs
(at around 6 mins) Near the beginning of the film, Mr. Duffy recounts the sequence of events of the Westworld incident. His presentation does not match the events of the previous film. Specifically, the Gunslinger was not the first robot to kill a guest.

Quotes
Chuck Browning: It's a 400; it's programmed not to stop us.
Tracy Ballard: Are you sure?
Chuck Browning: No.

Alternate versions
For its initial television broadcast, an alternate version of the scene towards the end where Chuck Browning extends his middle finger to Dr. Schneider was shot. Instead of extending his middle finger, Browning performs a sanitized "Italian elbow gesture", where the right hand is placed in the elbow crook of the left arm, then the left arm is raised (fist clenched) in a smooth and continuous motion.

Not as good as the original, but still interesting

Futureworld is the sequel to 1973's Westworld. It differed from the first movie in that while Westworld could be genuinely scary, with the gunslinger marching down on everyone, (Almost like an early seventies Terminator) this movie is more like a detetctive story, as Peter Fonda and Blythe Danner try to figure out what sinister things are going on in Futureworld.

Peter Fonda was acceptable, but Blythe Danner's scratchy voice begins to grate on your nerves after a while. Yul Brynner does show up briefly, but in a contrived appearance.

This movies is mainly notable as one of the very first to use computer animation, albeit on a scale that seems laughable compared to today's movies. Worthwhile to see on cable, but don't go out of your way.
