Trivia
Closing credits: The persons and events in this film are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons or events in unintentional.
Quotes
Sheriff Lyle Wallace aka Cottonmouth:
Breaker one-nine, breaker one-nine. This is the bear in the air, officer Lyle Wallace calling Rubber Jerk in that rattlin' piece of black crap at your side door. Come on!
Rubber Duck:
Please don't be using that kind of language on the air, Lyle. Especially don't ...
Goofs
The Sheriff from Texas gets into his car to get away from the truckers. In one close-up he is on the left side of the car driving, but in another shot he is on the right.
Crazy Credits
During the final credits, clips from the movie are played. These include a few brief shots which don't appear in the final film (such as the final clip of the couple in the antique car). The clips also *roughly* follow the film backwards (the first few clips are from the end of the film, and they progress back to the beginning).
Alternate Versions
the US region 1 DVD (released by Pacific Family Entertainment in 2004), is actually the same cut version that appeared on the UK DVD (missing the 3 mins).
