• While most movies have a proper wardrobe department, the wardrobe for "The Driver," "The Mechanic," and "The Girl" was chosen by each actor from a used clothes store. This served two purposes; it cut costs, but more importantly added to the realism by having the actors pick their own clothes.
• There was no makeup artist on Two-Lane. The actors were instructed to "get a tan" before shooting began.
• Up until his 2007 interview, James Taylor had never seen Two-Lane Blacktop; he doesn't like to watch himself on film. But he did say that he would like to see it now.
