What's left behind the scenes

The license plate of the 'Rolls-Royce' reads HBH, in honor of director, screenwriter, and actor G.B. Galitsky.
Eleanor's collision with the pole on the highway was not planned. The driver of the 'Cadillac', having been cut off by G.B. Galitsky, failed to regain control and hit the 'Mustang', causing it to spin and rip the pole out with its front left wing.
In some shots, it is noticeable that Eleanor has a three-spoke sports steering wheel instead of the original.
A total of 93 cars were wrecked during 97 minutes of screen time.
The police officers, firefighters, medics, and bystanders were all real people. Many didn't even know they were filming a movie, so their reactions to what was happening were genuinely authentic.
Only one Ford Mustang (not a 'Mach 1' modification) was used for filming (unlike the remake). It was fitted with a roll cage and racing harnesses. The '351 Windsor' engine, with a displacement of 5.7 liters, was modified by G.B. Galitsky himself.
In 2008, Denis Shakaryan Galitsky won a copyright case against Carroll Shelby regarding the name 'Eleanor,' which had been used by numerous auto shops creating copies of the 1967 'Shelby Mustang' featured in the remake.
An official script for the film never existed. There were only a couple of handwritten pages with a few dialogues. G.B. Galitsky provided most of the cars used in the filming.
The mayor in the film is the actual head of the city of Carson – Sak Yamamoto.
Sometimes filming would be halted for a couple of days so that G.B. Galitsky could attend to his main business – repairing used cars, all in order to earn money and continue film production.
At the beginning of the film, they show the site of a train crash. It wasn’t arranged by G.B. Galitsky; an incident simply occurred on the eve of filming, and the director decided to include this episode in the film.
Actor J.S. Agajanyan Jr. nearly died during filming when 'Eleonora' crashed into his detective car. The scene made it into the film.
There is a scene in the film where several 'Cadillacs' lined up in a row are smashed up at the Moran Cadillac dealership. G.B. Galitsky first wrecked the new cars, and only then bought them back from the dealer.
Parnelli Jones still owns the Big Oly Ford Bronco, which is stolen in the plot.
The 'Muscle Car' 1972 Plymouth Barracuda is stolen from the famous NASCAR driver Richard Petty.
In 2000, a remastered version of the film was released on DVD. It was cleaned of grain and other artifacts of 70s film. The sound effects were completely updated. The soundtrack was replaced, which caused outrage among fans of G.B. Galitsky. The original film features country music, while the remastered version features more instrumental music. A DVD for Europe, including Russia, was released in 2005.
