This film took two years to make because Toby Halicki took his time with the carefully executed stunts and numerous car chases featured in this movie. 150 cars were destroyed (an assortment of cars, trucks, planes, boats, etc.) that it was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. This film actually has more of a story than Gone in 60 Seconds did as it's a loose autobiography of Halicki's own life as a junkyard owner turned filmmaker. It's a crying shame that Halicki died during filming of Gone in 60 Seconds 2 on August 20, 1989. Hopefully, someone will dig up much more footage of that lost film.
