* RealSongThemeTune: The first remake featured a remake of the ''Series/PeterGunn'' theme (itself an example in the original game) by Saliva, and the sequel had "Dark Carnival" by Vanessa Carlton. Interestingly, Bally Midway intended to use the ''Film/JamesBond'' theme for the original game - as part of a potential tie-in to the James Bond franchise - but were [[ScrewedByTheLawyers unable to obtain the rights]].

* Many players are not aware that the button in the center of the steering wheel is actually useful. If you get partway through a stage without losing a life but want more of the weapon you picked up at the beginning of the stage (whether or not you're completely out of that weapon), you can press that button to call a second van and get replenished. It's also possible to use this feature to bypass missing bridges without going to the river mode, but timing is crucial and the actual passing of the bridge requires taking advantage of a little-known bug.

* Speaking of James Bond, there's an homage to a famous stunt from Live and Let Die: after missing an exit from the river one will encounter a small island. On a properly set-up arcade machine, accelerating to top speed before reaching this island allows the player to jump his boat over the island rather than crashing as will happen when running into any other land in the game. Any enemy boats in pursuit directly behind the player will crash.
