Trivia

When the bikers are chasing the main characters after pouring beer on their bikes, everything looks very blue. Though that can be achieved with light filters and gels, this particular scene was shot outdoors with indoor film, which is not color-balanced for sunlight, causing everything to look blue.

Goofs

When Buzz and Michelle arrive at the first convenience store, the lights are off inside. When Buzz goes in, the store lights are on and nothing is covering the window. When Buzz leaves, the lights are off again.

User Reviews

An only somewhat leering crime drama...

See this movie on Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's the only way you can bear to watch it. In the vein of "Riding With Death", mated horribly with "Striptease," with the profound influence of some unspeakable past films. This is not as bad as "Hobgoblins" or some of the other famous episodes, but still it's horrible. See it soon, if you can stand it.
