Continuity mistake: During the end of the mountain chase, Junior crashes into a tanker truck and explodes. Then the unnamed red truck driver crashes into a mobile home. There's a driver's point of view as Jack and Sonny drive by the wreck, but the POV is really Junior's truck. This is only noticeable on full-screen versions where you can see the truck's dashboard, which is cut off on the widescreen version.

Starring: Patrick Swayze, Meat Loaf, Randy Travis, Gabriel Casseus
Agent Ford: ATF - what does that stand for?"Alcohol, Tobacco and Fuck-ups?"
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.
