Trivia According to director Jack Hill, it wasn't until they were actually shooting that he learned that Sid Haig, who plays Hawk, the racing champion, didn't know how to drive a car. See more »
Goofs The type of car changes during the street drag race. The race starts out with a 1952 modified Chevy on the left. The car modifications make it look like a "gasser" drag race car (it's actually a street freak). This car does not have a front bumper and has a solid front axle. The car that crashes is a stock 1952 Chevy, complete with front bumper and stock front suspension. See more »

Quotes Hawk Sidney: Hey, boy! You gonna race with us?
Rick Bowman: I don't know if I got the guts.
Hawk Sidney: [cackles] What you mean is, you don't think you're zany enough. 'Cos everybody knows you got to be zany to run figure-eight, 'specially Mr. Willard here. That right, Grant?
Grant Willard: Bob, bring the Hawk a beer.
Hawk Sidney: Hey, yeah! Now listen here, boy. You know why I'm the winner? 'Cos I'm the zaniest there is. So when they see me coming through that intersection, they just naturally back off, 'cos they know I ain't gonna stop for nobody. So when you see me coming... you best get out the way. 'Cos I'm the zaniest there is! Right? Right. That's why I drive a California Custom for Grant Willard.
Grant Willard: I'm a businessman, Hawk. I need a winner.
Grant Willard: You got one. Yeah!
[cackles and leaves with two girls]
Grant Willard: What do you think, Rick? He's the one to beat.
Rick Bowman: [looking at Hawk frolicking with a dancer] Where can I get me a car?
