- Dallas City Hall was used as the exterior for the fictional Omni Consumer Products (OCP) Headquarters. To make the building appear taller, the filmmakers used "matte painting," a pre-digital era optical visual effect technique in which a backdrop or non-live action element is painted on glass or other medium, photographed and then layered on to the live action footage during post-production to change the appearance of a building or landscape.
