Riders on the excursion railroad can still see the wreckage on the way out of the Dillsboro depot. The train used during the filming was real, and was done in a single take. Cheoah Dam in Deals Gap was the location of the scene where Kimble jumps from the dam.
The rest of the film was shot in Chicago, Illinois, including some of the dam scenes, which were filmed in the remains of the Chicago freight tunnels.
