Trivia:
River Phoenix running down the street after he left Rose was the last scene shot and was not intended. It was added last minute when everyone noticed the skyline. River was told to run and didn't know why. He laughed through the whole scene because everyone yelled "Run River Run!" moreGoofs:

Dogfight captured California in the early 60's wonderfully. A pre Vietnam, pre Bob Dylan, pre make love not war, Dogfight is a beautiful story of innocence lost and innocence found. The ending alone makes you hold onto your breath as the credits role. Also, keep your eyes open for an early cameo appearance of Brandon Frazier.
