Trivia
The movie has developed a cult following, with movie-themed retro gaming tournaments hosted across the country. Luke Edwards, Fred Savage, and Jenny Lewis have made appearances at these events.

Goofs
After playing Double Dragon (1987) at the bus stop, Corey remarks that Jimmy scored 50,000 points. Jimmy played for less than two minutes. In real life, that would have to playing through almost the entire game, which would take much longer.

Quotes
Lucas: I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.

Alternate versions
When shown on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, all profane language is cut, along with the "he touched my breast" line (and, of course, all subsequent references to that line.)

Edited into The Wizard: Deleted Scenes (2020)

Good really Good

I thought this movie was great. Luke Edwards was outstanding. Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis were great as well. The whole movie was an amazing look at the mind of a child through video games. It was excellent.
