Trivia:
The Song "Never Surrender" by Lion, was used in a race sequence where one of the cars goes over the edge of a cliff thus killing the driver. The drummer of the band died in the same way when he accidentally went over the edge of a cliff racing his motorcycle. moreGoofs:
Continuity: After the first crash, the metal brace on the Wraith's arm disappears. However, this returns in the next scene when the Wraith shoots up the bad guys' chop shop. moreQuotes:
Keri Johnson: You really think I'd go to California with you? I'd rather go to Nogales, have the Gutterboy's cretin children and die than be with you!Packard Walsh: You better shut up now, Keri, or I just might have to...
Keri Johnson: Yeah, Packard, you can kill me too. Because you can never make me love you!

This movie survives only because the plot idea is kinda' cool. The rest of it is tremendously cheesy, but the excellent car and a compulsive 80's sound track make this a movie worthy of a night in and a bucket of popcorn. Put up your feet, put your brain to bed, sit back and enjoy.
