Diane is reading a copy of James Dickey's "Deliverance" while waiting in the woods.
Rick and Diane's car is a late-70's black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with gold striping and a "thunder chicken" graphic on the hood, as a tribute to the 'Smokey and The Bandit' series popular then.
Filmed about 35 miles west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; near the small town of Cochrane from August 9-18, 1979.
First day of filming the drama about the Mechanic serial killer was coincidentally the 10th anniversary of the Manson murders in Los Angeles.
