Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe exact site of the smash up is on the westbound side of Interstate 210 in La Crescenta, California, approximately one mile before the Sunland Boulevard exit. The freeway was under construction during filming in 1976, and was not open from Lowell Avenue to Sunland Boulevard. Corvette Summer (1978) used this same section of Interstate 210 in that film's finale.
- GoofsFor the entire film, Sgt. Marcam's CHP cruiser is a then-new 1976 Dodge Monaco (an intermediate sized car). For the crash sequence at the end of the film, his car changes into a much larger 1973 Dodge Polara (no doubt a budget consideration, as the car is wrecked).
