Bei den Dreharbeiten sind zwei Film Szenen entstanden die nicht im Drehbuch standen. Der Truck von Widow Women sollte in der Kurve nicht umkippen und der Sportwagen mit dem Lyle Wallace über die Scheune flog, sollte eigentlich in die Scheune fliegen. Bei beiden Szenen ist niemand verletzt wurden und Dank der Aufmerksamkeit der Kamera Leute und dem hieraus bestehendem verwendbaren Filmmaterials konnten diese beiden Szenen dann auch im Film verwendet werden.


Two scenes in the movie were not supposed to happen. The white truck of "Widow Woman" was not supposed to overturn on the curve in the road and the sports car driven by "Lyle Wallace" was supposed to fly into the barn, not over the barn. Fortunately nobody was injured while filming theses scenes and thanks to the careful attention of the camera people they were incorporated into the movie.
