For the climactic tanker chase, the producers used a section of a highway near Mexicali, Mexico, which had been closed for safety reasons. Sixteen eighteen-wheeler tankers were used, some with modifications made by Kenworth at the request of driving stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne. Most were given improvements to their engines to run faster, while one model had an extra steering wheel on the back of the cabin, so a hidden stuntman could drive, while Carey Lowell was in the front, and another received extra suspension on its back, so it could lift its front wheels. Although a rig was constructed to help a rig tilt onto its side, it was not necessary, as Julienne was able to pull off the stunt without the aid of camera trickery.
