When I saw the film for the first time in 1980 or so, I was just so impressed with how bad-ass it was. I can't remember if it was flipped at that time. Every time I have seen it since, however, has had the drivers on the wrong side, oops, I mean on the right-hand side of the car. Except for the bikers, they seem to be right in the middle of the seat, like we ride over here.
