Known Trivia
- Every car they took, except for the original rental car, has a crushed can of Red Bull on the dash.
- After Sandy and Diane purchase the $200 car, the scene showing their arrival to St. Louis as they cross a bridge is actually downtown Chattanooga. The tallest buildings and St. Louis Arch were digitally added.
- When Sandy first arrives to Miami, Florida to catch Diana at the salon. The scene starts with an aerial zoom in of a coastline, then a short cut to Sandy waiting in the car outside of the salon. The scene tries to depict Winter Park as just a short drive from Miami when in truth Winter Park is a suburban city of Orlando, FL, about a 5 hour drive outside South Beach.
- Steve Witting, who cameos as Carl / Bus Station Attendant, previously starred with Jason Bateman on the 1980s TV series "Valerie".
Goofs: Continuity: When real Sandy is talking on his cell phone with the credit card company, there is no rear view mirror. When he is pulled over and taken out of the car, there is now a rear view mirror
Plot: Mild-mannered businessman Sandy Patterson travels from Denver to Miami to confront the deceptively harmless-looking woman who has been living it up after stealing Sandy's identity. | »
