    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When Amy Madigan read for the film, she read for the part of the lead character's sister. Madigan told Walter Hill that the best part in the script was the lead character's sidekick. That part called for a man and the character's name was Mendez. The part was rewritten for Madigan and was renamed McCoy.
    • Goofs
      When the Sorels' bus is stopped by the cop roadblock, as McCoy is pulling the bus to a stop, there's a shot of her in the driver's seat. Seated directly behind Amy Madigan is a middle aged woman who looks like a crew member, present throughout the entire shot. She disappears immediately after the cut and is never seen again, nor was she a passenger on the bus prior to this scene.
    • Quotes
      • McCoy: You know everywhere I go there's always an asshole.
    • Alternate versions
      An 'R' rated version of the film was shown to theater exhibitors before being cut to a 'PG' for theatrical release.
