Trivia Set in Lackawanna, NY but filmed predominantly in Quebec, Canada. See more »
Goofs Set in the US but on Vic and Watts return from the police station, on the speed limit sign, it's clearly written MAXIMUM 70. It's in Km/h not in MPH. That would be faster then the 60 MPH speed limit on US highways. Not bad for a small country road. See more »
