• TRON: Legacy is set to appear as a level in Kingdom Hearts 3D.
• Actor Allusion: Some of Flynn's casual jargon and meditative nature recalls a certain other Jeff Bridges character.

Flynn: ...You're really... (Beat) You're messing with my Zen thing, man...

• Defictionalization: If you are one of five lucky people, you can own your very own street-legal Light Cycle.
• Development Hell: After years in development hell, the first indication that Disney was serious about creating a sequel was the showing of a "VFX Concept Test" teaser at Comic-Con 2008. The teaser showed the updated light-cycles, and revealed Jeff Bridges as Flynn and Clu. The title revealed was "TR2N", but by the time the teaser was released (officially) online several months later, the title had been changed to "TRON: Legacy".
• Doing It for the Art: Olivia Wilde. She was very committed to her character, to the point that she influenced everything from her appearance to preventing her from being a Shallow Love Interest.
• Executive Meddling: Daft Punk's score was heavily altered by Hans Zimmer and his company Remote Control Productions after test audiences had trouble following the music. As a result, it sounds less like Daft Punk and more like a ripoff of Zimmer's own Inception and Brad Fiedel's Film/Terminator.
• Hey, It's That Guy!:
  • Daft Punk (who did the soundtrack) get a cameo as the DJ programs in the End of Line Club.
  • Thirteen, will you get off the computer game and go help diagnose the patient?
  • Patroclus as Sam Flynn.
  • Doc Cottle as Grandpa Flynn.
  • Lucian from the Underworld series as a flamboyant David Bowie Expy.
  • Steve Lisberger, who wrote and directed the original, is the bartender at the End of the Line Club.
  • Dillinger, where'd your fear gas go? Seems like his inception went pretty well if he's just the CEO of a software company now.
  • "The Next Day" basically stars Ram a.k.a. the Popcorn guy from the original film.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • The Grid voice is that of Millia Fallyna.
  • The Light Jet Sentry is Dutch.
• Recycled Script: A surprising amount of plot elements from Tron 2.0, the discredited sequel, match the movie. Son of the original leads? Check. Running through cyberspace looking for his dad? Check. Drafted to the lightcycle arena deathmatch and rescued by a mysterious female Program? Check. Flynn gone missing in both timelines and no one knows where Tron himself vanished to? Check...
