Fun Facts
- Antony Alda (Robby Burstad) was the son of actor Robert Alda, and the younger half-brother of Alan Alda.
- The opening and closing scenes with Grossman were filmed at Golf N' Stuff Family Fun Center in Norwalk. The Water Slide seems to have been removed in the late '90s, but the other facilities are still there. The Water Slide and arcade can also be seen in The Karate Kid (1984). View in Google Maps
- Although Steve says he'll race Toro in Pomona, they actually race at the Saugus Speedway, previously seen in Supercycle.
Mistakes
- Near the end, Jon pulls his pickup off of the riverbed to pursue the racing bikers across a bridge. In the next shot the bikers come from about 150 yards behind Jon and follow him over the bridge.
- Before the final chase, Jon identifies himself as police and tells Burstad that he's wanted, but Burstad spends half the chase following Jon - not a great escape strategy!
- After Burstad hits the patrol car, Getraer says "He hit his head, call an ambulance". His head didn't touch anything until he was almost stationary.
