What a fantastic series of videos! This is why I love this site 😃
The whole Q&A is a must watch. There is some really interesting bits about THX 1138 at the end.
-
Gary Kurtz pronounces it as Thex and not saying the letters T-H-X. I think in the movie they say Thex as well.
-
Warner Brothers pulled the film shortly after release due to issues with Coppola’s Zoetrope and Kurtz says THX was making money at the box office. I never knew this.
-
35mm prints of THX were almost non-existent in 76 and you could only get 16 mm prints for screening.
Great stuff!
