 While shooting in the desert, Lance Henriksen relieved the boredom  between takes by hopping in his car and taking short drives through  the desert, still in costume and often staying in character.  According to Henriksen and Bill Paxton, the two were stopped by a  policeman who became so unnerved questioning Jesse about his  speeding that the officer became visibly uncomfortable, stepping  back and placing his hand on his firearm. The obviously flustered  officer decided to send them on their way rather than write them a  ticket.
