In one scene, a reel is shown spinning, to segue into another shot. On this reel is a white label that says "University of Southern California".
The "EB" referred to in the title means "earth born" according to the original script writer.
The title character is always referred to by his full name spoken one character at a time: either 1) Tee, aich, eks, one, one, three, eight, four, ee, bee - 2) the "one, one" spoken as "eleven" or "one, one" is apparently incorrectly spoken as a single "one" In the remake he is usually called just "Thex" as a phonetic pronunciation of the THX prefix.
