FILM 1190: COOL HAND LUKE
TRIVIA: In the
"road-tarring" sequence, the actors actually blacktopped a mile-long
stretch of highway for the county.
The opening scene, where Luke is
cutting off the heads of parking meters, was filmed in Lodi, California. After
the filming, the city did not replace the meters, and for many years afterward,
you could go there and see a block long row of metal posts, sans meters.
Luke's prison number (37) is a
reference to the Bible - Luke 1:37. ("For with God nothing shall be
impossible.")
