- CuriosidadesThis film was originally written for Steve McQueen, but he turned it down. According to Walter Hill, "He didn't want to do anything that had to do with cars at that time. He felt he had already done that and it was pretty hard to argue with that." Hill had been assistant director on Bullitt (1968) and El caso Thomas Crown (1968) and wrote La huida (1972).
- PifiasWhen the Driver first takes off in the red truck, he's clearly working a floor-mounted gearshift (almost falling into the dashboard during one shift). Later, during the chase sequence, the close-up cuts to him working a column shifter, then back to a floor shifter in wider shots.
In addition, when the driver is chasing the silver car, there's a close-up shot of him shifting the column shifter, but he shifted it into the Park position.
- Citas
The Detective: I respect a man that's good at what he does. I'll tell you something, I'm very good at what I do.
- Versiones alternativasA version of The Driver seen on TV years ago included a pre-credit prologue, in which Bruce Dern's and Matt Clark's characters meet for the first time, and Ronee Blakley gives Isabelle Adjani her assignment as an alibi. The CBS/Fox home video version begins abruptly with the opening credits, omitting this prologue.

No Names Please!
There is no baloney in this surprisingly good movie (it's not well-known). It also sports a real oddity: no one's name is mentioned in the entire film! Try to think of any other film you've ever seen where this is the case.
Why 'The Driver" is not better known is a mystery since the director (Walter Hill) and main actors (Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern) are well-known entities.
Maybe because Ryan, who people think of more as the likable male in the immensely popular "Love Story," "Paper Moon" and "Barry Lyndon" plays against type, playing an ultra-serious criminal. Make no mistake: he does it well. He is a man of few words in this movie and he handles that in a fascinating manner. Dern is always interesting. Isabelle Adjani, more famous as a French actress, is nice to ogle and she, too, doesn't say much in this film.
The rest of the characters in this "neo noir" are a bunch of nasties, giving that edgy feel.
If you like film noir and particularly if you like car-chase scenes, well, this movie is must-have, because there are several intense chase scenes in here and they are long. They're also well-photographed, fun to watch and certainly keep your attention.
