Wissenswertes

  • Gedreht in: Utah

Fast Getaway is a 1991 action comedy film, starring Corey Haim, Cynthia Rothrock and Leo Rossi. The film chronicles the adventures of a trio of non-violent bank robbers formed by a teenager (Haim), his immature father (Rossi) and the latter's feisty girlfriend (Rothrock). A sequel, simply titled Fast Getaway II, was released in 1994.

Production

The film was a production of Burbank, California-based CineTel, which used a legal entity established in Park City, Utah, called Wasatch Productions, for the shoot. Cynthia Rothrock signed on for the film first, and Haim was later added to the cast. The actor was also named an associate producer on the movie, the first such credit of his career.

Principal photography started on June 6, 1990, and lasted five weeks. While the film is set in Colorado, production spent about three days in that state, and the majority of photography took place in neighboring Utah. The opening robbery is a composite of Provo, for the exteriors, and Salt Lake City for the bank's interior. The post office heist and escape were filmed in Park City.

While on set, the producers tried to get Rothrock to do frontal nudity, which was more than she had agreed to. She told them to reach out to her agent, after which the demand was not mentioned again. Rothrock also felt that, as a first-time director, Razatos was more prone to asserting his authority towards her, due to her martial arts background, than he was towards the film's seasoned thespians.
