For a short while, one of two vehicles that were used to film the Benny the Cab sequences of Who Framed Roger Rabbitwere displayed in the Echo Lake restaurant Backlot Express along with the Toon Patrol's Dodge Humpback paddy wagon that he was briefly locked up in. How it was filmed was that Bob Hoskins would sit in the front of a custom buggy vehicle pretending to drive the vehicle. holding a prop wheel, while the real driver (stuntman Charles Cromwell) did all the maneuvering in the back end. The same Benny vehicle was used for filming another Robert Zemeckis production, Back to the Future Part III, during the scene where Marty's character is dragged by a horse. In 2019, both the paddy wagon and Benny buggy were removed from the restaurant to make room for more "table space". A similar Benny vehicle was showcased in Episode 7 of the Disney+ series Prop Culture.
