Your thoughts. Yes or no? Vehicles run amok? TCM material?

I Bleed Blu · 02-08-2009, 07:01 PM

True. Have not seen it in a while, and might find it too silly at this point.

AKORIS · 02-08-2009, 09:35 PM

a classic? No way--- not now, not ever.

a really bad but entertaining B-movie with a cool soundtrack? yeah, maybe.

cartman781 · 02-08-2009, 09:58 PM

Fun yes
a Classic No

Rob71 · 02-08-2009, 10:01 PM

A cool, dumb movie. I still watch it whenever I see it on TV. Loved the Green Goblin Truck.

I would definitely say it's a classic. In the same way that The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a classic. Both are unforgettable films with incredible soundtracks.

McCrutchy · 02-09-2009, 09:17 PM

Ac/dc!!!!!

tacoreed · 02-09-2009, 09:23 PM

This movie is great. I love the vending machine taking it out on the baseball team. Classic!!!!!!

movielib · 02-09-2009, 09:46 PM

One of the worst movies ever made. Even Stephen King realized he should never direct another movie.

yes! imo, awesome 80's horror (albeit funny) film. Loosely based on Stephen Kings short story, Trucks, I find it creative, replete with dark humor and a horror movie classic.

quexos · 02-10-2009, 01:12 AM

Much as I love King, I was not too impressed by this movie. This one was King's debut as a director right ?

Right, and his only directorial picture. For good or ill, you decide.

gothic_hobbit · 01-13-2012, 02:54 PM

This needs to be released on bluray !

Get to it Hollywood

Trekkie313 · 01-13-2012, 04:21 PM

I liked it. Want to see the supposedly cut footage someday...heard George Romero got sick.

nolfoc · 01-14-2012, 03:49 PM

definitely not a classic, but more entertaining then Hostel, Saw, and Paranormal Activity.. I always loved the plane in the school bus scene
