Trivia[]
- The movie used a Ram 1500 and a second 2500 as a stunt, both vehicles were provided by Chrysler
- The sales, before the movie were at 410,000, after the movie, sales increased to nearly 480,000, it later peaked at just over 400,000 in 1999 before declining to the redesigned Ford and GM trucks.
- In several continuity errors, when the team is off to find the “Sidewinder” tornado; one scene shows the truck’s trip-meter at what looks like 218 miles with the fuel gauge around half a tank but in the next scene, the trip-meter reads 119 miles with the tank just under full. Also, when Bill floors the gas pedal; the engine is heard accelerating rapidly but the tachometer indicates there’s no downshift, as the truck should have. In that instance, the odometer reads 902 miles but when Bill hits the brakes to talk about how the tornado is going to shift its track; the odometer then reads 239 miles.
- It is possible that the Dodge Ram was chosen for this movie after seeing success in the crime drama Walker, Texas Ranger, the main character portrayed by Chuck Norris. The show switched from a 1993 GMC Sierra 4x4 to a steel grey Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with what is believed to have the 5.9L (360ci) Magnum V8 after season 2 and was used for the remainder of the series. However, there are some sources that cite that truck has having the 5.2L (318ci) Magnum V8.
- In the first scene where Bill and Melissa are meeting the team, the camera zooms in and the truck appears to say Ram 3500 V10. Another continuity error, possibly?
- So basically the movies about a butthurt guy that fucks up something good with a hot chick and ends up getting lucky
- bills giant balls got in the way of his pedal work in getting the ram 2500 off of the log it high centered on
