1!! For The Movie:
2* DeletedRole: Creator/CharlotteRampling had a role as a hitchhiker whom Kowalski met while en route, but her scenes were deleted before the US release. The scenes were re-inserted for the UK release. The DVD release includes both the US and UK versions.
3* ReferencedBy:
4** The music video of the Music/{{Audioslave}} song "Show Me How To Live" is a highly condensed (five minutes long) ShotForShotRemake of this film, with the band members as the occupants of the white Challenger.
5** Episode 5, "Car Chase Movies," of ''WebVideo/MissingReel''.
6** Creator/ZoeBell mentions the Dodge Challenger in ''Film/DeathProof'', Creator/QuentinTarantino's half of ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''.
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Richard C. Sarafian wanted Creator/GeneHackman to play Kowalski, but the studio insisted on giving the role to Barry Newman. Ironically, it ended up getting released on a double bill with ''Film/TheFrenchConnection''. Creator/KrisKristofferson was considered for the part. His then wife, Rita Coolidge, has a small role in the film. Bruce Dern also admitted that he auditioned for the role of Kowalski for this film, and that if it hadn't been for being rejected from this role, he wouldn't have been able to go onto the film that he was most recognized for: ''Film/SilentRunning''.
