Trivia
Right after Bill and Jo come out of the toppled house, the teddy bear that hits their truck is CG.
Share this
In order to get the background skies looking suitably stormy, the truck cab sequences had to be flooded with high-intensity lighting for contrast. As a result, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton suffered minor retinal burns through much of the filming.
Share this
The original Director of Photography was Don Burgess (best known for his collaborations with Robert Zemeckis), but he and many other crewmembers walked off the set midway through filming after a series of heated arguments with director Jan de Bont.

Goofs
While the truck is being driven through the house, there is a quick shot where a chair is still sitting upright, against the wall, even though the house had just been rolling and ended up on it's side.
Share this
When the Dodge Ram pickup's speedometer is shown for the first time after Bill floors the accelerator, the "Air Bag" light is on. This was to facilitate driving the truck through the house later in the movie without the chance of the airbag firing.
Share this
At the beginning of the movie during the crew camp out, the weather changes in some shots. The sky changes to fully cloudy, partly cloudy, and clear blue sky.
