Trivia: When Wyatt, Billy and George Hanson enter the diner, all the people in the diner were local inhabitants of that town - none of them were actors. Same for the two rednecks who shoot Wyatt and Billy from their truck, at the end of the film - they weren't actors and that was their pickup truck.

Trivia: Three of the motorcycles used throughout the film were stolen shortly before the film was finished.

Trivia: There was no full script - much of the dialogue was just made up on the spot.
