Top Ten Killer Car Movies

After an exhausting ride through killer car land I bolted together a list of the best CARnage films in existence.

First honorable mentions: Joy Ride, Killdozer, and National Lampoon’s Vacation.

In no particular order:

Maximum Overdrive – Stephen King. Emilio Estevez. Evil Semis. Enjoy.
Trucks - A television remake of Maximum Overdrive. Why? Because God hates you.
Christine - The heartwarming story of a blood thirsty car and a nerd.
The Car – Mysterious black car kills annoying hippie, earns ten points.
Dead End – Funny until you wet your pants with fear.
The Cars that Ate Paris – Car parts as currency. Best way to get car parts is, of course, to make cars crash.
The Wraith – Charlie sheen bones a hot girl, kills cheesy 80s car gang.
Black Cadillac – Focuses on the dangers of driving in Wisconsin. No, seriously.
Highwaymen - Equal parts Mad Max and stupid.
Duel - Stephen Spielberg’s Jaws on wheels.

these all sound like good ones, but there is one i have been seeking for years. i cannot remember the name, it involved someone driving a car around terrorizing people, the car was tricked out with retractable spikes in the hubcaps and other devices for wreaking havoc, a woman that was being pursued got away, hid out in a garage and tricked out a pickup truck with similar gadgets to hunt the car down and seek revenge. i have no idea who starred in it, what it was called, im pretty sure it was mid to late 80s or early 90s. if you know what movie im talking about help me out
Allison
That sort of sounds like the movie “The Car” made in ’77.
allison
could also be wheels of terror- 90. more than anything your description sounds like a james bond car.

Personally… that sounds a bit like The Cars that ate Paris. I mean, retractable spikes? But while we’re playing “which movie is…” has anyone seen the one where there’s an RV and a guy is dead inside, it’s incredibly stupid.
Allison
Youre talking about monster man. Biggest fucking waste of time.

I remember this movie, too. I’ve been looking everywhere for a clue. I don’t think it’s any of the movies mentioned. If you find the title, post it here.
