Line 22:
** Hell, even the computers look better than most of what came between this and the CGI era, or even the ''real life computers'' from [[The Eighties]].
** Double-hell, this looks better than anything in CGI.
** And the technique used to create the "Beyond the Infinite" sequence -- a [[Camera Tricks|camera trick]] known as "slit-scan" -- was impressive enough to be reused well into the early CGI era. It was later used for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s "This is the place to be" ads of the early 1970s, as well as the [[Whooshing Credits]] for [[Superman (film)|Superman: The Movie]] (which improved on ''2001'''s techniques by using a computer-controlled camera) and a whole bunch of pre-CGI motion graphics work in [[The Eighties]].
* [[Weird Al Effect]]: As time progresses, it becomes more likely that the first time somebody will see something related to the film will be as a [[Shout-Out]] made in another more current work rather than in the movie itself.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: The film's climax. Don't forget this was the late 1960s, too; many, many hippies [[Just Here for Godzilla|saw it just to see that one sequence]]. Clarke himself relates an anecdote in which he was handed an envelope with a letter of thanks and an assurance that the remaining contents (a white powder) were "the best stuff". {{spoiler|He flushed it down the toilet.}}
