    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to Don Siegel, it was the policy at Universal at the time to shoot the last scene of the film first. On that first day of filming, according to Siegel and Clu Gulager, Lee Marvin arrived late and had been drinking, but because he had no dialogue, the scenes were used as shot.
    • Goofs
      At the start of the race, Johnny presses the accelerator to the floorboard with his right foot. However, his left foot is nowhere near the clutch. In a manual transmission, the clutch would need to be released while simultaneously accelerating.
    • Quotes
      • Charlie Strom: Lady, I don't have the time.
    • Crazy credits
      The style of the film's credits reflects its original made-for-TV origins: in 1960s TV movies, Stars, Co-stars, and Featured Players were listed only in the opening credits, while supporting players were listed only in the closing credits.
