<P> Principal photography took place in early 1990 in and around Charlotte and Daytona Beach . It was plagued with delays due to frequent arguments on set between Simpson and Bruckheimer , Scott , and sometimes Towne over how to set up a shot . Crew members sat idle for long hours ; some later said they had accumulated enough overtime pay to go on vacation for a full four months after filming was completed . The completion date was pushed back many times , with filming being completed in early May , three months later than it had originally been scheduled . At one point , following the third revision of the shooting schedule in a single day , the unit production manager , who represents the studio on the set or location , confronted Simpson and Bruckheimer and was told bluntly that the schedule no longer mattered . </P>
