Movie Goof (continuity error): When the dog is licking the dead officer, his mouth is closed. In the next shot, his mouth is open.
Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene where the hitcher and Jim Halsey are sitting in the diner with the gun under the table, the plant in the right corner behind Jim's head is knocked over. In the next scene it is sitting upright.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Jim enters the abandoned garage, birds fly in front of the camera for dramatic effect. Though the hole in the floor seems to be intentional, the person visible pushing the birds out from said hole was probably not.
Eric Red, (writer), said that the film was inspired by the Doors song, "Riders on the Storm".
