This movie is slightly misnamed for Zzyzx Rd (and its exit sign) 7 miles southwest of Baker, California on Interstate 15. The correct pronunciation of the film title is spoken in the film as ZIZ-icks, with the accented first syllable rhyming with fizz. The correct pronunciation of the actual geographic road as defined by the man who named it is ZEYE-zicks, with the accented first syllable rhyming with eye. A movie named Zzyzx was released in the same month and year, thus the two movies are often confused with each other.
