I was skating at the skate park in Alameda when they were filming that highway scene... many days in fact. They built that entire highway structure on the Alameda Naval Air Base right next to the skate park. It was insane... you'd be carving around the bowl and all of the sudden you'd hear a rain of gunfire ringing out and a huge explosion. Crazyness. Esc (the effects studio that did most of the animation... formerly called Manex) is also right next to where they built that set in an old hanger. Really cool stuff to watch.

I'll save my fingers and not comment on the movie, other than it was "aight".
