Some of the things he said aren't accurate. Only one working movie car survived the movie. The other was totaled while racing in the movie. And there are street legal MP4s other than his. Kit cars are still available. After the movie the Interceptor was sold to a man in Tennessee. After a long legal battle with Dodge he was able to keep the car minus the drivetrain and a few secret components. He painted it red and dropped in a V6. The rearview camera was actually a feature in the Wraith car. He kept it for several years before he sold it. Last I heard it was in a museum somewhere. The man from Tennessee's brother was a friend of the family and when he heard what a fan I was of the movie he gave me a picture of the red Wraith after it was redone. I still have the picture 35 years later.

The cinematography in that movie has a lot of interesting aspects. One example would be the crash scenes where a car is comletely obliterated, but the dead body hanging out of the car looks like the actor just walked out of the powder room, layed down in the car and closed his eyes, and the director was like "action". No blood, scrapes, or anything. Ah, makes me chuckle. "You can't stop something that can't be stopped" - Sheriff Loomis 😆
