Trivia

Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez were having a movie trivia contest on the set one day. Estevez asked Dreyfuss to identify the movie that the line "This is no boating accident" was from. Dreyfuss didn't recognize the quote, despite the fact that he was the actor who said it in Jaws. Deciding that this was too good to pass up, this incident was re-enacted for the film. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the rear window of the convict's car is shot out by the police it is obvious that the window is shattered with a hammer from inside the car. See more »
