Short description
Daryl is a normal 10-year-old boy in many ways. However, unbeknown to his foster parents and friends, Daryl is actually a government-created robot with superhuman reflexes and mental abilities. Even his name has a hidden meaning -- it's actually an acronym for Data Analyzing Robot Youth Life-form. When the organization that created him deems the "super soldier" experiment a failure and schedules Daryl to be disassembled, it is up to a few rogue scientists to help him escape.
What's left behind the scenes
- The scenes featuring computers at the military base were filmed in appropriate facilities at Epcot in Orlando, Florida, which is part of the Walt Disney World resort.
- When the film was released, moviegoers could go to the box office, decode the acronym "DARYL," and receive a gift—a small movie poster. "DARYL" stood for "Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform".
- This was the final role of Tucker McGuire (1913-1988), who played Mrs. Bergen.
- While fleeing from the police, Daryl and the doctor switch places in the car. When the car spins around, it can be seen through the rear window that an adult is driving while the child is sitting in the passenger seat.
- During a highway chase, Daryl and two police cars jump over a median barrier, but only Daryl's car survives the jump. It is not heavily damaged and continues driving in the opposite lane; its bumper is slightly dented, and the right headlight and one marker light are broken. However, in the very next scene, he is shown driving directly toward the camera, and the car is completely intact.
