Top Evil Motor Vehicles
 
These are my favorite movies featuring a killer car, truck, or other motor vehicle:

Killdozer
Christine
The Car
Maximum Overdrive
Duel
The Hearse

What did I miss?

I bought a vampire motorcycle

The Ambulance

Nightmares (one of the segments has an evil truck)

Trucks (another version of maximum overdrive)

I don't know if DUEL is a real 'evil vehicle' film as its the driver thats the evil influence rather than the Truck - much like Joyride and Monsterman.


Honorable mentions (ie they son't really count)

Blood Car

The Cars That Ate Paris (just cos the Cars look so evil)

I debated whether to put Duel on the list, but as you never see the driver all the menace is coming from the truck.

I didn't know they did another version of Maximum Overdrive, was it more faithful to the original short story?


Interesting looking movies. I particularly like the looks of The Cars That Ate Paris:http://www.nfsa.gov.au/img/carsthatateparis_2.jpg

Not seen Trucks - just know there was a TV version of the same story..

I wanted to see The Cars That Ate Paris for years because of that still and when I finally did I was very dissapointed. Its not that its a bad film but I expected something alot different.

Oh well, thanks for the warning.

Also thought of this Monty Python sketch:http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_pictur...f/killerca.jpg

It's not the greatest flick out there. Just your typical forgettable low budget 90s outing.

Cool:cool:

A movie was never made about it, but Stephen King's short story Uncle Otto's Truck was truly unnerving (not the truck, but eerily similar).http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/...d9d54b.jpg?v=0

Hah, none of them top Maximum Overdrive or Christine - They were insanely wicked and so efficient at killing.
