Line 39:
''[[Title Drop|Electric Dreams!]] Electric! Ooh, lalala! Ooooooh!'' }}
* [[The Faceless]]: Edgar. The director, Steve Barron, refused to let the rest of the cast members ever meet Bud Cort during filming, except as a voice coming out of a box, to preserve their sense of interacting with a non-human personality.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Miles is [[Twin Peaks|Harold Smith]], [[Red Dwarf
* [[He Had a Name|I Had A Name]]: Edgar.
* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water|Instant AI -- Just Add Water]]: Or, in this case, champagne.
Line 45:
* [[Jerkass]]: Bill, who when he hears that Madeline's beloved cello has been smashed, blandly assures her that ''he'' can perform her cello solo, instead.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The movie is available only as a Region 2 PAL DVD released in 2009.
* [[Letting the Air Out of
* [[Love Triangle]]: Madeline for Miles and Edgar (who she thinks ''is'' Miles), though she is also attracted to fellow cellist Bill; Miles and Edgar for Madeline.
* [[Miraculous Malfunction]]: Miles spills champagne on his PC while it is plugged into his company's megacomputer, causing his computer (of course!) [[Instant AI, Just Add Water|to come to life]].
Line 55:
* [[Product Placement]]: Edgar's obscene "love-song" for Madeline is adapted from a "Pepsi" jingle ("[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lHEvW__P4g Catch That Pepsi Spirit!]").
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Bill. (1984 was a bad year for male cellists wooing their female counterparts; the same year Dana Barrett was stolen from one by [[Ghostbusters|Dr. Peter Venkman]].)
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Miles wishes Edgar, "Sweet dreams," Edgar queries, "What's a dream?" -- to which Miles sleepily replies, "A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep. ... ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', [[Did Not Do the Research|1950]]," to which Edgar <ref>who would obviously be a Troper if he were still around</ref> replies, "No, it was ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'', [[Did Not Do the Research|1949]]."
** Other [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] are more associated with the song "Together in Electric Dreams" than with the film itself:
*** It is played on the fictional radio station "Flash FM" in the [[Video Game]] ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]''.
