The scene where Austin Peck meets Leslie Bega takes place at Fry's Liquor in Newport Beach.
Two different red VW bugs were used because during some additional filming the owner of the car sold his classic VW Bug to someone who converted it to a Dune Buggy.
Austin Peck, the lead actor, got bit in the face by a dog on the second to last day of shooting and all production had to be halted until he recovered. Luckily he was not severely injured.
