Anecdotes
When this film won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, the award went to the writer(s) and director(s) (in this case, L.Q. Jones), as had been done for years before. However, Harlan Ellison, author of the original story who at the time had already won six Hugos, put up such a fuss at being left out that the Hugo committee eventually decided to include him. Unfortunately, there were no iconic Hugo Award rocket statues left, so the committee just gave him an extra base. With the two Hugos he would win after this, Ellison would claim to have won eight-and-a-half Hugos, with this being the half.

Gaffes
Near the end of the film, when Vic is speaking with Blood outside the entrance to The Down Under, Vic refers to him as "Tiger", which was the dog's actual name.

Citations
[last lines]
Blood: Well, I'd certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert... if not particularly good taste.

Versions alternatives
According to the Blu-ray commentary, the prologue (mushroom clouds and explanatory text, the first minute and a half or so) was added for the 1982 rerelease to help explain the world of the film.

Commentaire à la une

Those who think this movie is somehow anti woman really don't have a clue what this story is about

First off... To the guy who said that this movie doesn't say anything.. Please try to use more than 1 percent of your brain cells next time you analyze a movie. To those who think that the writer of this story, Harlan Ellison, intended on being anti woman in his creation of the final scene, you need to re-examine the story's real meaning. The movie (and especially the original story) is making a strong statement about the meaning of love. Love is honest. Love is survival. Vic probably makes the most mature decision in his entire life by choosing the dog over the woman. He needed to choose the dog over all else in order to have a future in that harshest of all worlds. He chooses life over temporary sexual pleasure. Vic was never in love with Quilla June. In the world of "A Boy and His Dog" a Vic and Quilla June relationship was destined to fail for many obvious reasons.

Nevertheless, the original story does a much better job of exploring Vic's ambivalence in making the final decision. It is true that Ellison's original novella is a masterpiece. Thanks for listening.
