The film is known for its impressive practical stunts, visuals, and effects that were largely created without heavy reliance on CGI. Some of the most notable scenes that showcase these practical effects include the explosive car chases, the flamethrowing guitar player on the Doof Wagon, and the intense hand-to-hand combat sequences.
