Trivia
The stretched Chrysler Imperial limousine (stretched by thirty-six inches), used by Burt Reynolds, was converted by A.S.C. (American Sunroof Corporation) outside Detroit, Michigan, using the front doors from a 1979 to 1981 Dodge St. Regis sedan. This limousine was used in Reynolds' previous movies Sharky's Machine (1981) and Stick (1985). Frank Sinatra had a similar limousine converted by the same coachbuilder, which is still owned by the Sinatra family. See more »Goofs
When Tony and Ceasar are trying to land the plane on the highway, Tony tells Ceasar to lower the flaps and Ceasar asks Tony where the flap handle is. The flaps can be seen and are already lowered. See more »Quotes
