      The Killers's car is a 1969 Ford Mustang fastback in Bright Yellow.
    • Goofs
      In some shots of the fuel gauge of Carol's station wagon, the gauge reads "Unleaded Fuel Only", in others it doesn't, probably because they used two different Ford Torino station wagons - a 1972 that ran on regular gas and a 1975 that ran on unleaded.

    "Gooooood Mmmmorrrnnning!"...
    In NIGHT DRIVE, Carol Turner (Valerie Harper) and her family are in the midst of a move from Phoenix to Denver. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Carol winds up having to make the trek alone. Unable to fly due to inclement weather, she heads off by car.

    Unbeknownst to Carol, a murdering madman (Richard Romanus) is in her path. Upon witnessing this man committing a homicide, Carol finds herself in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Low on gas and terrified, Carol's night of relentless insanity has just begun.

    This is a tense, fast-paced, made-for-TV thriller that really captures the 1970's vibe. An era before cell phones could -possibly- save us. Ms. Harper is very good as the woman in danger, as is Romanus in his genuinely scary role!

    Another wonderful TV chiller that deserves a new audience!...
