    • Trivia
      The gas station used in the very last scene is the same location as the one used in Cobra (1986).
    • Goofs
      Dennis Hopper's character gets shot in the left arm by a high-powered rifle--regardless, he is still able to have a fist fight with the much younger and stronger Michael Pare character. The wound also appears to stop bleeding and appears to be just a tear in his suit jacket during the fight.
