Another said "Joplin, MO" but all filming locations listed were in New Mexico. imdb: "Errors in geography: When Carroll O'Connor's truck stops in Joplin, Mo., early in the movie, mountains are clearly visible in the background. There are none in Joplin." Are there mountains around Tulsa? Like "ACME" on the truck, the fake generic name mostly found in Looney Tunes cartoons.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2009-07-31 08:15	Yeah, the lettering is pretty generic. Hard to sell "bathroom fixtures" by those words themselves. A real manufacturer would likely be more creative, yes? Now, about the De Soto... -- Last edit: 2009-07-31 08:16:29
