In the scene where Roy L. Fuchs (Jack Warden) walks up to Rudy Russo (Kurt Russell) and Jeff (Gerrit Graham) as they are finishing shoveling dirt over the spot where they buried Luke, Graham didn't have any lines and kept pestering Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale for lines. Finally, he just decides to repeat whatever Russell said to Warden. Apparently, Warden was unaware of what Graham was doing, thus his line "What're you? A fuckin' parrot?". It was Warden's genuine annoyance at Graham, which worked so well in the scene that it was included in the final cut.
The reason Used Cars was made at Columbia Pictures was that Universal Pictures passed on this, and since the head of Columbia had once sold cars, he understood this right away.
Described by Robert Zemeckis as the Red River (1948) cattle drive with cars, the climatic chase scene was filmed in an abandoned and overgrown airfield east of Phoenix. Two hundred extras were recruited with the pitch "fifteen dollars a day, bring your own car, and be in a movie".
In the scene in which Gerrit Graham's character starts shooting at Roy L. Fuchs' cars for the commercial, real ammunition was used to shoot the windshields and the headlights.
According to Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, the movie's release was botched by the studio. The movie tested extremely well in previews and Columbia Pictures pushed the movie out of its original late-August release date to mid-summer with little publicity and poor advertising. The movie only played across half the United States rather than receiving a true wide-theatrical release and consequently flopped upon release.
"[Rudy is planning to break into a presidential broadcast with a commercial] Jeff: For Christ's sake, we're fuckin' with the President of the United States. Rudy Russo: He fucks with us, doesn't he?"
"Rudy Russo: C'mon, Jeff! You've seen how bad business is. Thanks to Fuchs, our name is mud! Look... we had nuns, protesting out front when I got here this morning. Jeff: Nuns? Rudy Russo: Yeah. I had to have Jim turn the firehose on them. Jim the Mechanic: [holds up the still wet firehose] And I knocked them motherfuckers right on they asses, too."
