Did You Know?
| Trivia | Of the two gas stations at which the movie was shot, the super center gas station no longer exists, and in its location is a recycling center. But the small gas station that played Joe's service station, bizarrely, still remains today [to date, February 2022 - c/- Google Maps), at 3201 Marysville Boulevard, Sacramento, California, USA - and is run-down and decrepant, ironically, like the state of Joe's filling station at the start of the movie.
