    • Trivia
      Woody Allen originally intended the film to be three hours long and in two parts. The first part would have him in the present day, coping with life until his illness. And the second half would be the futuristic part. But United Artists rejected this concept.
    • Goofs
      Luna's shoes change from high heels to flats when she crosses the lake on Miles' back (in the "raft" costume).
    • Quotes

      Luna Schlosser: It's hard to believe that you haven't had sex for 200 years.

      Miles Monroe: 204, if you count my marriage.

    Woody Allen's Second Best Movie After Annie Hall
    I think I am going to have to rank this as Woody Allen's second-best (and second-funniest) movie... after the unbeatable "Annie Hall". Even after having seen the movie 3 or 4 times I still find myself amused by some of Allen's shtick... and his rarely-demonstrated adeptness at physical comedy. So many classic physical bits: riding around in the wheelchair... eating the rubber glove... the future scientists trying to force his slack body into a futuristic vehicle. After this movie Woody started to get a little too cerebral... this was his last attempt at a just-plain-funny movie... and probably his most satisfying of his early comedies... only because there was a sort-of storyline. Woody is cryogenically frozen after a botched operation in the 1970s and is awoken 200 years later to find himself in a repressive Orwellian future. He meets up with a spoiled rich chick (Diane Keaton) and influences her (not really intentionally) into becoming a revolutionary activist.
