Did you know

• Stacy Keach learned to drive a 16-gear semi truck in just two days for the role of Quid. He drove the truck about 1,600 miles during the production.

• The story that Quid tells Hitch while camping is actually the true story of that particular filming location. The camp scene was shot at a ruined old telegraph station that used to serve an Australian town that was destroyed by a plague of rabbits many years earlier.

• With a budget of 1.75 million Australian dollars, Roadgames was, at the time, the most expensive film to be made in Australia.
