coyote63000 ◊ 2004-12-14 16:22	Kenworth W900. Modele produit à partir de 1985.(Les modeles anterieurs à 1985 avaient les phares ronds)

IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2008-10-16 01:08	Is this chase in Mexico? If it is the trucks would be Kenworth Kenmex.
Q-Ball ◊ 2008-11-10 19:29	no its in south america Say, if they are identical, then why are the wheels so changing?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-11-10 19:50	Yes, it is Mexico. Quote Mexicali, Baja California Norte, Mexico (highway finale scene - truck chase) http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0097742/locations That said, the trucks might have been bought and modified for stunt work in the US.
BlackIce_GTS ◊ 2009-02-20 08:45	Why and how does it wheelie like that? Real trucks can't do that, can they?
Oljoke2 ◊ 2009-09-18 21:26	Also a real truck cant drive on two wheels (in this case its 5 :-P) with trailer without crashing.
firebird86 ◊ 2009-09-18 23:24	This exact truck was donated to the Orange County School District by the producers of the movie with the stipulation that it never be sold at a profit or titled for operation on the road. Its currently residing at the Oakridge Vocational Institute in Orlando, Florida in the diesel instruction shop. It still has the original 1 ton counterweight mounted on the fifth wheel assembly extending approx 5 feet behind the frame rails. The rear suspension was also modified to allow for extra travel. The truck does pull wheelies under its own power. Ive seen and driven this truck while attending Oakridge Vocational. -- Last edit: 2009-09-19 18:37:34

BlackIce_GTS ◊ 2010-09-17 09:39	BigLorryBlog a little more info. I still wonder why they would go to the trouble of making it do a wheelie.
Truck117 ◊ 2015-09-22 17:52	The Ian Fleming Foundation owns possibly the last surviving truck, stating that KW built it in 1989. http://www.ianflemingfoundation.org/ltk.htm

Thesketchydude13 ◊ 2023-07-16 04:58	Note: the Truck that is crashed into the side of the "mountain" appears to switch once it cuts to the driver exiting the cab from a Kenworth W900 to a Mexican Built Autocar "DC 10264" with the hood swapped out take notice of the different air-filter, bumper, and cab guessing the change was done specifically for the Explosive part

For the climactic tanker chase, the producers used an entire section of Mexican Federal Highway 2D in La Rumorosa, Baja California, which had been closed for safety reasons. Sixteen eighteen-wheeler tankers were used, some with modifications made by manufacturer Kenworth at the request of driving stunts arranger Rémy Julienne. Most were given improvements to their engines to run faster, while one model had an extra steering wheel on the back of the cabin so a hidden stuntman could drive while Carey Lowell was in the front and another received extra suspension on its back so it could lift its front wheels. Although a rig was constructed to help a tanker tilt onto its side, it was not necessary as Julienne was able to pull off the stunt without the aid of camera trickery. -- Last edit: 2024-10-29 00:41:39
