For the desert shots of a traveling Bulma to be perfect, Emmy Rossum had to ride the motorcycle in four-foot sand drifts at a speed of 40 mph. It was an arduous experience ("40mph over bumpy sand dunes is enough to make anyone a little queasy"), especially since filming would start at sunrise, and the bike would stall a few times and had to be dug out often. However, the cast and crew would assist each other and put everyone at ease for filming to continue well.
