The monster truck used in this film was designed and built for $2500. The "sheet metal" covering the outside of the truck was actually wood spray painted to look like very old and rusted sheet metal. The truck only had a maximum speed of roughly 30mph (48kph) so footage of the truck chasing after the car was sped up to make it appear as though it was capable of very high speeds. The truck could only be used for 20 - 30 minutes at a time before it would over heat and production would be shut down. It also ran on rocket fuel, which reported cost the producers $300 per gallon. There was no steering wheel, the driver was standing inside the truck using levers to control the speed and direction.
The motel scenes were shot at a Christian retreat. The owners allowed the filmmakers to shoot anything they wanted with the notable exception of any material involving Satanic rituals.
This film was presold on its title. Writer/director Michael Davis had to come up with a story that fit the title.
Shot in twenty-two days.
The actor who played Adam had to wear clothing two sizes too big in order to fit the nerdy image the cast production wanted Adam to portray.
