Trivia
- He is paid homage to in Tron Legacy and it's viral through the shipping company called Dumont Shipping. It was named by Kevin Flynn upon taking over ENCOM and his son Sam currently resides at ENCOM after using the shipping area as an apartment.
- In Tron: Betrayal, Dumont says that MCP was Kevin Flynn's finest creation. This is false because MCP was created as a chess program by Dumont's user, Walter Gibbs but later upgraded and modified by Ed Dillinger.
