I wish someone would load the car i remeber seeing this in theatres back in may of 1977,it had one scary part that made you jump,and it had kyle richards of "Halloween".
When I was a little boy this movie came on tv. This mvie, Crash!, Duel and that one story from Nightmares about the demonic pick-up truck. I have a thing for movies about killer cars for some reason.
I saw this as a teenager with a group of friends at a drive-in movie theater when it first came out & the night we saw it, some moron (it's hysterical now) started driving around the lot like the demon car in the film, laying on his horn, spinning out & sending gravel spraying into the air. We saw the manager & a group of employees chasing around after it. The police got called in, but by that point the fool had flown out the exit, disappearing into the night. Most amusing to reminisce over.
I remember seeing this on tv way back in 1977 (I was 8 years old) at a friends apartment. After it aired that night, I had to go home. I lived in another neighborhood and had to take the bus. After the bus left me off at my stop, I still had to walk a couple blocks to my place. As I walked down the sidewalk, I warily eyed the cars parked in the street, scared to death that one of them just might jump up out of the curb and chase me (I was a coward)! Thankfully I lived on a 2nd floor apartment!
That is one bad car, the first time I saw the movie it scared the...crap out of me! Maybe it's just me, but look at 1:03, is that someone flying out of the police car as it rolls down the hill?
I know it's only a movie, but damn, that car scared the crap out of me when I first saw that movie...and also, maybe it's just me, but look closely at 1:03while the police car is flipping. Is that a body being flung out of the car? ( Look at the top right center of the screen )
This movie came out in 1977 i saw it when i was a kid all you yungstas ,its probably not for you, though christine bit off of this relying on youngsterism to not catch it, do the math on the years: this was the original badd ass devil car yungginnz
I Heard A Heavy Rumor But Not Confirm Yet.....That This Movie Would Be A Remake And James Brolin Son : Josh Would Be The Star On It....This Is ONLY A Rumor
Poor car....thing's so angry 'cause it needs a woman to sooth the savage beast within! Should have met up with Christine. Could you imagine that? The Car and Christine see each other and "Let's Get It On" starts playing. Talk about your rear-ending!
Definitely inspired by Spielberg's "Duel" from 1971, where the grill of the car acts like an evil "face" of sorts and you never see the driver, making the machine a monster. I used to be haunted by nighmares of cars chasing me with no drivers when I was a young kid. But I never saw this movie back then. Guess I'm gonna have to now!
"I think I hear the engine of that car. It's around here somewhere I--wait I'm scared! I promise I won't go out. Tell me what to do, baby. I-I--AHHHHH!!!"
ROTFL!!!
I've got to see this movie, it looks both scary and funny at the same time! XD
For a movie out of 1977 it was awesome and still is. Watched this movie when I was just a kid and still get a kick out of it. I think some people are thinking about it too much. The car is driven by Satan or a really powerful demon so of course it won't run out of gas, or get damaged, and can do other feats that a regular car can't do. How is this different from many of the dorky comic book movies put out now-a-days? I had more laughs watching the fast and the furious.
I can't believe this isn't a comedy. Adults got together and said "We'll make an awesome horror movie about a car that drives itself! And never runs out of gas." Unbelievable.
why the hell would Satan make a car that has to get gas refills? And this movie would be pointless if there was a driver other then a demon I mean comon..
So who was the driver? I search and it keeps saying.."here, a final confrontation settles the score and reveals the driver's frightening identity in a cloud of smoke."
Anybody know who it is? or is the frightening bit the fact that it doesn't have driver?
Or it's just an early version of something KARR! [From Knight Rider]
Well, The Car was in fact in an episode of KR, "Trust Doesn't Rust". In the scene where KARR is supposed to be seen falling down a cliff, It is in fact a customized coupe - The Car - that falls down. Lol!
the indian woman was the girl in "outlaw josey wales" I actually sat in the car when they were selling it at universal studios. The car had only a plastic seat bolted to the floor and a car battery. very light. that was why the car could spin and move so fast. we reached under the passenger door and felt a coat hanger and tug on it and the door opened. very freaky...lol, the window tint was an orange color. I wonder where that car is now?
This was the golden era when movies made for TV were better that the garbage you hi-fi you have today. You had better drama and MUCH better acting. This was a true 70's classic! Loved it!
the engine of this car sounds oddly familiar; flash forward five years to the original Knight Rider - in "Trust Doesn't Rust," where K.A.R.R. first appeared, they borrowed footage from this movie to show "K.A.R.R." driving off the cliff at the end--- and K.A.R.R.'s engine also sounds like the engine of this car. And, like this car, K.A.R.R. was evil...
My old time car movie favorites was this one,another oldie with a white 70's challenger(at the end the car crash and the guy driving it die),Mad Max,and one that a young man die at the begining and apear with a black sport futuristic car(or he transform in to a car?),I think was a early 80's movie.Oh and Canonball Run.
Thanks for the info,I believe the movie's name is The Wraith,and the car was a Dodge concept or prototype name Interceptor.And yess Charlie Sheen was the mysterious teen.
Yep, Charlie Sheen in The Wraith. It was a Dodge concept car, and gave the car to his brother at the end. The other movie with the white Challenger was Vanishing Point with Viggo Mortesson. He was driving X-country to see his wife in the hospital, chased by police, drives into a roadblock and presumed dead.
Vanishing Point,that's the movie,a great classic.This movie,Mad Max,and The Wraith,have the escence of a true renegade,and reflect the true meaning of justice.But that's my opinion.Thanks for the info.
"BEHOLD! The mighty vooices of my vengeance smash the stillness of the air and stand as monoliths of wrath upon the plain of writhing serpents I AM BECOME AS A MONSTEROUS MACHINE OF ANNIHILATION to the festering fragments of the body of him who has tormented me. I call upon the messangers of doom to slash with grim delight this victim I have chosen... .. O Great Brothers of the Night, Thou who makest my place of comfort, who RIDETH OUT UPON THE HOT WINDS OF HELL..."
No it does not! I mean, yes, it has a quotation, but not the one you posted. The quote goes something like..."THE WINDS OF HELL, BROTHERS WILL RIDE, ect., ect. Something like that.
Ahhh..but it does. I had the Church of Satan's mimeographed newsletter called THE CLOVEN HOOF. In it, there was a recommendation to go an view this movie. And I did. When I saw it, I immidiately recognized the quotation from the Destruction Ritual in The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey. And yes, it did say: "I am become as a monsterous machine of annihilation." Anyone viewing this movie back then would concurr. Perhaps what you have seen was edited or censored, but I know what I saw.
This movie scared the hell out of me when it was out!! Granted, I was only 9 or 10 by the time it came to tv but I remember being terrified at night that an evil car was gonna crash through my window!!! I need to see this again!!
This is just hilarious. I think it actually scared me when I was 10 when it came out, but seeing it recently I couldn't stop giggling. Really like the red filter shots from inside the car through the windshield.
I guess Satan wears red tinted sunglasses?
Can anyone explain what it is about Lincolns (Animal House "Deathcar", JFK's XP800, Sonny Corleone's '41 Continental) and this that make them so synonymous with death and being evil?
In the 70's there was a glut of these Satanic Devil films but this one was by far the best. I could never figure out way Satan would bother to take the form of a car and harass a small town in the south west. I guess that's what he does when he is bored. It would be great to see a sequel all these years later with James Brolin.
I remember all those devil movies too and your right, this was the best one by far. Do remember that one with Peter Fonda called Race With The Devil? That would be a good one to remake as well.
Does this movie trailer remind you of watching Duel? Remember the scenes of the whole entire movie, that Dennis Weaver was driving his red car? Remember seeing the big gray tractor trailer truck chasing and terriorizing him? Man, those were the good ol'days!
@vertigoflow According to the film, this car was driverless.
