I’m seeing this movie for the first time ever on Svengoolie and the car reminded me of an episode of Futurama where Bender turns into a were-car. Apparently the were-car in Futurama was specifically based on the car in this movie.
shareAlright, a fellow Svengoolie fan!
This may be featured in the film's trivia page on imdb but in one of Sven's segments he mentioned how 4 (or was it 5?) models of the iconic car were made: all but one contained fiberglass so they could be setup for the crash sequences (which were gnarly cool) while the lone design was derived from metal (like how most vehicles from that time period were produced).
Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the Futurama reference but it's nice hearing what an influence even this cult horror classic has had in pop culture. I'm a regular follower of Svengoolie's weekly features, so I'll be sure to pay extra attention to each film showcased in case we'd like to share our insights.
We're in good company, fellow traveler.
