The tanker chase in the finale was shot on a section of Mexican Federal Highway 2D at La Rumorosa, a mountain pass in the desert. The producers closed that stretch for safety. Sixteen modified Kenworth tankers were used, with stunts arranged by Remy Julienne. The coordinates given are approximate for the pass.
