Agent Ford: ATF - what does that stand for?"Alcohol, Tobacco and Fuck-ups?"
Earl: One fart and you're walkin'.
Wes: I know I shouldn't drink apple juice. It gives me gas.
Earl: You listen here Wes: one fart and you're walkin'.
Jack Crews: There ain't nothing like a Caterpillar engine.
Earl: Easy up Crews, you're going burn it up.
Jack Crews: Alright watch this.
Earl: Yeah, you CAN drive.
Jack Crews: It's comin' back to me.
Continuity mistake: Before the biker disconnects the air lines, he is shown on the back of the truck. At one point you can see that the air lines are already disconnected. Not to mention that the trailer tires will lock up without air, and shortly after the entire truck will lock up. (00:57:20 - 00:58:20)
Trivia: The TV version has a number of deleted/extended scenes; the mountain chase, particularly Junior's scenes, are noticeably longer.
Question: Is the whole thing with truckers seeing "a black dog" when they have been on the road too long true, or made up purely for the film?
Chosen answer: It's an old trucker's myth that has been around for a long time. There's no known origin for the story, but supposedly when truckers become drowsy, they can see a demon-like black canine of some sort running along the side of the road. This legend was incorporated into the movie.
