From IMDB :
Factual Errors or Goofs! -
An important plot point is the existence of a portable electric chair which makes the career of "traveling executioner" possible. Unfortunately, as shown in the movie, it can't work. To perform an execution Keach "starts" a big electric generator in his horse-drawn van. But the generator has no power source! At the time the story takes place the internal combustion engine was new and rudimentary. The only transportable source of mechanical power was the steam engine. There were no diesel powered generators. Of course a steam engine large enough to produce the necessary mechanical power to turn the electric generator would have been almost as large as the van and would have required hours to build up enough steam to do the job. Also, a substantial amount of coal to make the steam would be needed. In any case, no motive power is shown and this explains why there were likely no traveling electrocutionists. Why a remote prison would not simply hang convicted criminals is likewise not explained.
*Stacy Keach also appeared with Bud Cort in Brewster McCloud.

In the 1940's and into the early 1950's , both Mississippi and Louisiana had electric chairs which were moved between different courthouses as needed. Mississippi had an executioner named Jimmy Thompson, a tattooed ex-con. The chairs were powered by a diesel generator.

Brilliant

Filmed at the then recently vacated Kilby Prison in Montgomery, Alabama. Film makers were given access on the condition that they demolish the walls of the institution with explosions at the end of the film. Alas, the pyrotechnics used were not powerful enough to do the job. The state had to come in a few years later and level the walls into the ground.
