Trivia

The Camaro Z28s used by the CHP were actual test mules - 12 of them were ordered by the CHP and the vehicles had too many issues rendering them unsuitable for patrol duty. Ford Motor Company did some research and development where the Mustang was developed into a Special Service Package, which the CHP and Michigan State Police tested and evaluated - the SSP version of the Mustang was introduced in 1982. Chevrolet later re-entered the Camaro into a police package during the 1991 model year with the B4C option - which had several improvements (the third-generation Camaro, at the time the B4C was introduced, had a port fuel injection system and dual catalytic converters common to the IROC-Zs of the era).

Goofs

When the patrol car crashes into the back of the car transporter during the Corvette chase, the Citroen on top falls off the front of the truck, and there are no cables or supports visible to keep the car in place. This means that the car would have eventually fallen off the truck anyway as it drove around normally.

Why nobody vote for this movie. It's GREAT

yeah, thats true "The Junkman" is wonderful. This is one of the best movies with... what i talking about, it is the best movie with CARS.So men, boys also you ladies Watches this film it's horrible good!!! No really i'm not kidding, if you see it you'll never forget it. I promise. What only 67 votes SHAME OF YOU!!! And it's much better than the Dominic Sena's "Gone in sixty seconds"(2000) with Nicolas Cage. I think it's also better than the first part "Gone in 60 seconds"(1974). It's the best role of H.B. Halicki. Like you see now i'm big fan on this film, but my all family and friends love it. So what is conclusion? You must see it with you own to understand.
