Mary Woronov didn't know how to drive when she acted in this film, so the van she drives in this movie had to be towed with a rope.
According to Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel did not enjoy making this film because he felt he was being typecast as an action director. Even David Carradine tried explaining to Bartel that he was unsure about the climatic car pile-up and its disturbing subject matter.
David Carradine ended up staging all the fight scenes in the movie, including the one with him and John Herzfeld, playing Bennie's cohort Sharpe, disguised as the fake motorcycle cop. Herzfeld did some amateur boxing before becoming an actor/filmmaker.
Wolf Messer, the West German professional racer branded American cars as "stupid" despite the fact the De Tomaso Pantera that he drove is powered by a Ford Cleveland 351 engine and was sold by Ford in the US up until 1975.
David Carradine and Robert Carradine had appeared together previously in Martin Scorsese's 'Mean Streets' (1972) and Gerrit Graham and Archie Hahn had appeared together previously in 'Phantom of the Paradise' (1974).
"TV Producer: We're trying to get a word here with Brad Phillips, organizer of the race. Brad, tell me, your race has been called an outlaw sporting event. Do you have any comment on that? Brad Phillips: Well, the police and safety officals around the country get upset because our drivers tend to exceed the speed limits. TV Producer: Are you saying you're promoting illegality? Brad Phillips: Well, no, no, I didn't say that."
"Linda Maxwell: I knew you couldn't pass up this damn race. [flashes badge] Linda Maxwell: Consider yourself busted. Coy 'Cannonball' Buckman: [shoves badge aside] Don't give me that crap, Linda. Linda Maxwell: Now, you know what happens to parolees who cross state lines without permission? Coy 'Cannonball' Buckman: I don't give a damn about that red tape. My brother put up six thousand dollars for this car. I've got a chance to win with it. Our whole future is at stake. Linda Maxwell: One speeding ticket and you're back in prison. That's our future. Coy, you know how I feel about you. I've never pulled rank on you before, but I'm legally responsible. Coy 'Cannonball' Buckman: That's a technicality. This race is my last chance to get my career back together. Linda Maxwell: Oh, face facts, Coy. Your whole racing career ended when that girl died."
