Sleeper (film): Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Miles:''' You sit here. I'll go find us something, and don't try anything funny while I'm gone, 'cause you know what you'll get.

'''Luna:''' What?

** His next line of dialog?

{{quote|"My God... I beat a man sensible with a strawberry!"}}

* [[Do You Want to Copulate?]]: The idea of two people having sex is alien to the people, as they've had machines to... do it for them, as it were.

{{quote|'''Luna:''' Do you want to perform sex with me?

* [[Electric Instant Gratification]].

{{quote|'''Miles:''' ''(refusing to get into the Orgasmatron)'' ''Machine?!'' I'm not getting into that thing. I'm strictly a hand operator. I don't like anything with moving parts that aren't my own.

* [[Everything Is an iPod In The Future]]: Thanks to an homage to ''[[THX 1138]]'' homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

* [[Exty Years From Now]]: Miles is out for precisely 200 years.

* [[Future Imperfect]]: The scientists knowledge of the past is limited and comes from old tapes of Howard Cosell. They seek to learn more by asking a Woody Allen character which one supposes is an improvement.

* [[Giant Food]]: Advances in agriculture result in comically immense fruits and veggies.

* [[Helicopter Pack]]: After his attempt to use a [[Jet Pack]] fails (see below), Miles puts on and uses a helicopter backpack.

* [[Homage]]: Woody Allen wanted to do a [[Charlie Chaplin]]-styled movie. ''Sleeper'' was to be a silent film; instead, the film has a lot of slapstick comedy with no dialog. Allen also did something only Chaplin did: write, direct, star, produce, ''and'' write and perform the music in the soundtrack.

'''Dr. Melik:''' You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?

'''Dr. Aragon:''' Those were thought to be unhealthy... ''precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.''
