Trivia:
The names of the cities on the California Highway Patrol tracking board (where Kowalski never made it) were Stockton, Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco. moreGoofs:
Continuity: After the first motorcycle cop crashes, Kowalski flashes back to a motorcycle race. Two riders are shown crashing, and then one whom is assumed to be Kowalski. The rider is wearing a white jacket with black sleeves and a full face helmet, but after he crashes, he is shown getting up wearing an open helmet with goggles and a dark greenish-blue jacket with stripes. Curiously, the numbers are all the same, 28. moreQuotes:
Colorado State HP Officer: Nevada, this is Colorado State Highway Patrol. This is about a special query raised by the Utah Highway Patrol. - Affirmative, that's correct, but later they asked that the information be forwarded to you guys, so get ready for some details.

There are a lot of road films out there. One of the most famous is EASY RIDER. But this is a film that has a little twist to it. it's also a chase film. I won't get into the story, but I will say the film is unique for its time. In fact, I don't know of a film similar to it now. This is one of the great films from the 1970s. I have no problem recommending it because at worst people might find it okay. But I doubt anyone would hate it. There is a lot here to like. I give it a 8 out of 10.
