    Nice video, I wanted to see the interior of the 66/67. The ignition switch and a/c control panel show it's a '67.

    This ain't the movie to take squimish people to. About every way to die you can think of - stabbing, shooting, squashing, grinding, splattering, etc. It won't win any awards, but if you like action flicks with loud cars coupled with prisons, this may be for you. I imagine it will be out on DVD within a month. Not a bad way to spend a hot afternoon though.

    If you have a 66-70 Riv and ever wondered what the underside looks like, you get a real good view when the car comes to a stop upsidedown.

    The information on Jalopnik and on the official movie website is wrong. The car is a 1967.

    The car that was used in the movie originally had a black Strato bench seat which was partially redone with white vinyl on the seating areas (not too good looking!).
