Directed by: Sam Peckinpah
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Kris Kristofferson, Burt Young, Ali MacGraw
Visible crew/equipment: When the truck is getting shot on the bridge, you see Rubber Duck get down on the floor of his cab and this is shown in many following shots. Just before the truck falls off the bridge, there is a short shot from inside the cab looking out. Somebody is sitting in the driver's seat, steering.
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning when the Jaguar is passing Rubber Duck's truck, there is a reflection of two camera lights on the side of the sleeper compartment.
Continuity mistake: When Pig Pen crashes his truck into the jail to get Spider Mike, the windshield of his truck is cracked (shot of Ali in the back shows the crack), but when they are heading to Mexico, his windshield is no longer cracked (when the food is thrown at his truck after the ice cream truck wreck.).
Officer Bookman: My name is Bob Bookman, sir, and I hate truckers.
Question: Where was the opening filmed? It looks like somewhere with snow, but must be a desert?
Answer: White Sands National Monument in New Mexico.
