333 WarGames (1983)
- 'Kevin Costner' (qv) turned down the lead role for a part in
"The Big Chill (1983)" (qv) which was eventually cut.
- The studio had a Galaga and a Galaxian machine delivered to
'Matthew Broderick' (qv)'s home, where he practiced for two months to
prepare for the arcade scene.
- The ``TRS-80 Model I'' used to break into NORAD was programmed to make the
correct words appear on the screen, no matter which keys were pressed.
- When David comes home the day after the NORAD computer break-in, the
newscaster on the television is talking about a prophylactic recycling
center.
- The exteriors were all filmed in western Washington state. The NORAD HQ
set was built in the Cascades, the ``Oregon'' airport was really Boeing
Field, ``Goose Island'' is really Anderson Island, WA (in the southern part
of Puget Sound). The last ferry off the island really is at 6:30, and you
really are stuck there if you miss it.
