Test screening cut ran 2 hours 5 mins approx but was edited down to a brisk run time of 1 hour 20 mins for pacing. Exorcised, among other things were scenes of Cray and his wife at the beginning, Fargo as an able bodied man committing murders, Cray in prison, a subplot of Macklin struggling with his superiors over his investigation and more scenes of molly and Clay in the junk yard.
Rennie Cray (Jim Caviezel) drives a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda with the 426 Hemi Package. This extremely rare "race prepped" car uses a 426 cubic inch Hemi V8, paired with lightweight front bumpers and fenders. The car also omitted things such as sound deadening and rear seats to keep the weight down. A sticker reading "Accelerated Time Trials Only" was placed on the car. A mere 50 were made in 1968.
Non-car enthusiasts and casual observers may miss the irony of Fargo's ultimate demise. More attentive viewers will notice that the parked car Rennie crushes Fargo's body against is the same late 1980s Cadillac Fargo was driving in the opening scene of the movie 5 years earlier.
The correct description for the car depicted is "Super Stock", not "Hemi package".
