Trivia

The scene where "Jake" (on a motorbike) is being pursued by "Sam" in the SUV, was filmed in Morristown, New Jersey. In an attempt to shake off Sam, Jake gets up on the New Jersey Transit tracks, and is soon overtaken by a NJT commuter train. During the sequence, which involved several takes, veteran stuntman Bill Anagnos (doubling Chris Collet) was actually struck by the train, and was knocked off the right-of-way, suffering a broken leg. With heavy editing of the previous takes, the accident was not shown, and the film progressed from there. After a long period of painful recuperation, Bill Anagnos eventually returned to stunt work.
