The car that Elle (Lily Tomlin) and Sage (Julia Garner) drive for much of the movie was a 1955 Dodge Royal that is owned by Lily Tomlin. Tomlin told USA Today that she bought it in 1975 for fifteen hundred dollars. She said, "It's not a prize car. It's not a car that people yearn for. But it has a nice look to it. The car is almost a character in the movie. I knew I kept that car for a reason."
The film's budget was six hundred thousand dollars.
Shot in nineteen days.
Lily Tomlin's character has the name of her former partner "Violet" tattooed on her arm. In the movie Como Eliminar Seu Chefe (1980), Tomlin's character was named Violet.
