Trivia

Durnig one of the montage scenes which illustrates Hoops' journey from Generic, New York to Woods Hole, Massachusetts, an overhead shot shows his car traveling along a freeway. However, not only was the freeway chosen for the shot the Mid-Cape Highway section of U.S. Highway 6 on Cape Cod, a road he would not have traveled on to get to Woods Hole from New York, but the car was traveling westbound on the highway crossing Bass River, which serves as the Dennis/Yarmouth town line, which is approximately 25 miles east-north-east of Woods Hole.
