What's left behind the scenes

  • According to Eric Red (the film's screenwriter), the song "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors served as inspiration for writing the film's screenplay.
  • According to C. Thomas Howell, he was genuinely afraid of Rutger Hauer both on and off the set. He believed that Hauer had become too immersed in the role.
  • The rough (initial) cut of the film lasted three hours.
  • Sam Elliott and Terrence Stamp were considered for the role of John Ryder.
  • The truck at the end of the film is a "Dodge Ramcharger".
  • A film novelization based on the original film also exists. The author is Arch Stanton.
  • The film's screenwriter, Eric Red, plays a deputy sheriff in the film who is transporting Ryder to jail.
  • Rutger Hauer performed many of the stunts himself in the film, which amazed the film crew and even professional stuntmen.
  • On "Late Night with David Letterman," Rutger Hauer stated that the film was originally intended to end differently: Jim Halsey shoots John Ryder while he is lying on the road. However, to avoid an 'X' rating, the filmmakers slightly adjusted the ending. The revised version was included in the final cut of the film.
