Trivia
Cal's original vehicle in the movie was supposed to have been a Chevy Blazer, but after blowing the engine on the way to the set due to lack of oil in the engine, the directors improvised and persuaded a crewmember to let them use his 1981 Chevy Caprice station wagon. They ended up having to replace the transmission after killing it in the chase scenes.

Quotes
[first lines]
Wingate Jones: He's always cool with me, easy goin'. Always shot a good clean weld, you know, no rough seams. Sometimes certain folks in management would ride his ass pretty hard, and Hampton would always say, "he does this or says that one more time, I'm walkin' outa here".
[chuckles]
Wingate Jones: Well he said that kinda shit every day, ya know. It's like getting real mad at someone and saying, some day I'm gonna kill that some of a bitch. Everybody says that shit, ya don't go and kill the person

Loved This Movie

Up until now the only way you could see this cool movie was at a film fest or in a one of the limited cities in which it was in theaters. I came across it on the Sundance Channel late one night and have been a fan ever since. I see now it will finally arrive on video and I have already placed my advance DVD order. This is one to own. Made on limited budget, this the type of film that 'Hollywood' would never make, maybe 25 years ago, but not today. Maybe that is why it feels so real and realized. This is the kind of movie that proves that you don't need tons of money, special effects, or manipulative music to make a great movie.
