Cisco,site of the end crash

2nd pic is the site where the jag crashed off the bridge,we confirmed this by bringing a dvd player and we used the landmarks and skyline as a guide and we found the mountain to be exact as well as the other side where Kowalski got out and checked the Jag driver was ok and sure enought the skyline matched exactly.

The entire bridge was washed out years ago as well as the road.

the third pic is also a road used for the jag race,theyedited this scene quite a few times so it took alot of time and help from a guy named Ed Ko he is obsessed with the movie,so much when he saw the film in the former czek he was motiveted to find out where such a place existed so he mover here in the 80,s and now resides in Green River Utah, with in a few miles of this scene shoot

Cool pix!
Is Rolland a lot taller than the rest of you? Or is it just perspective?

Damn damn damn!  I wish my car was tight I'd burn up there and cruise along for a bit.   I don't drive out of my free tow zone.  :)
