Trivia: Although the movie was inspired by the 1976 song of the same title, the song really didn’t have much of a plot. So after the screenplay was written, Bill Fries (aka CW McCall) recorded a new version of the song, with lyrics that incorporated the characters and events of the film. This is the version that is played during the final credits.
 

Goofs: Continuity: Throughout the film, Rubber Duck’s truck has a grill guard. In the scene after his and Pig Pen’s trucks have crashed through the jail, the grill guard is missing when the truck pulls out. Yet it’s back on there for the rest of the movie.
