10 Killer Facts About Handy's '77 "Green Goblin" Truck - Maximum Overdrive

[@jeffduncan9634]

This truck is now owned by a gentleman in my hometown in Pennsylvania. I see it from time to time going down the road. Pretty cool

[@CarStarz42]

Cool, yeah I saw that it's already changed hands a few times since it was built last just last year. Owning a truck like that would be hard in a number of ways, even without the constant attention it draws, lol!

My best friend's favorite film of all time is this one, soundtracked by his very favorite band, I've seen it 82,000 times, haha! I think some of the audio of the Goblin truck was a V12 Detroit, but I might be mistaken. It's always a 2-stroke Detroit, and they do sound WAY different when they're in their powerband than when they're not, but some stunts sound like smaller/more cylinders. That's just my ears, which are connected to my dumbass head. I may be wrong, but I thought I heard that on some interview with someone from the production company. Mighta just been a fever dream, haha!

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, yeah; when it comes to movies, they tend to dub all sorts of things for no apparent reason. Hard telling the whys or what fors when it comes to audio dubbing, especially in car and horror movies; I just know the actual truck had the 8V71T at least 😉

@@CarStarz42 Yeah, it for sure did. And honestly, that might've been the only engine sound they ever recorded for it, I just think it sounds like a 12V71 sometimes and I thought I heard that they might've dubbed some 12V71 sounds to make it sound more menacing for certain shots. Maybe not, though. An 8V71T sounds plenty evil on its own. LOVE those old Detroits.

One of my all-time favorites! The engine sound in the movie is not an 8V71 though-they have a lot louder and more high-pitched exhaust sound-the sound in the movie is an 8V92. The diecast is really cool but has a Cummins engine instead of a Detroit-quite the oversight on a $150 diecast.

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, I was discussing the engine sounds with someone else on here a few days back, we concluded that it was probably a studio mix of the two, maybe even with some 12V92 clips thrown in there at times. Hard telling when it comes to audio in movies with all the dubbing they do. 😉

[@TheRoadhammer379]

A cold semi engine takes about 30 minutes to reach 190 degrees at idle, for the scenes, as short as they are, overheating probably wasn't an issue, considering 225 degrees is the danger zone for a big diesel. Factor in removing the thermostats, flat land driving scenes, and no load in the trailer, it's doable in short takes

The owner of the backup Goblin Face is a selfish bastard...

[@CarStarz42]

It's a shame for sure.

[@thatfordguy2268]

So it looks like what happened is someone caught wind of these at 40$ retail price. Purchased all of them and is now reselling them on ebay between 125 to over 300$! 🤦😢

[@CarStarz42]

Well when I first made a link to them on Amazon, they were in stock, but still priced at $125, so not sure where you saw $40🤔

[@glenwaldrop8166]

I saw what must have been a replica of the truck on the interstate in Alabama between Eutaw and Tuscaloosa in the early 90s. I figured someone must have bought one of the dozen set trucks so I didn't think much of it. Now I'm curious.

[@CarStarz42]

Interesting indeed, wonder if that replica is still around or not? 🤔

[@glenwaldrop8166]

@@CarStarz42 I've got a decent memory but I doubt I'll be able to come up with enough details to figure out where to begin. I think the trailer was short, it wasn't identical but the face was good. I would have been around 12-15, comics nerd, artist and aspiring mechanic. The mask wasn't perfect but it was good, a little too rounded if memory serves. It *might* have been as late as 96, went to a couple of concerts back then, I would have been driving and that would explain why I was looking at the other side of the road in such detail.

This is a Longshot, but I'd really love to see a video on the "Black Maria" cattle truck from the ending of the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[@CarStarz42]

Might be a tough order there, but I'll add it to my massive list to look into eventually. Thanks😉👍

[@Mister_Ess]

@CarStarz42 if it helps, there was a post on Facebook many years ago showing the truck in a dilapidated state on someone's property, also IMCDB (internet movie cars database) might give some insight.

[@dukecraig2402]

​​@@CarStarz42 How about the truck from Smokey and The Bandit? Have you done it? It's pretty common knowledge that all the Trans Am's were scrapped after production but I think I've seen where the truck or at least the trailer with that custom mural is still out there somewhere. As is the truck from the 1978 Sam Peckinpah movie Convoy, complete with the gutted tanker trailer that was a lightweight mod to keep from bogging down the truck, the one destroyed at the end of the movie crashing off the bridge wasn't the hero truck used for principle photography. Love your channel, it's one of just a few I'm subscribed to.

[@CarStarz42]

@@dukecraig2402 Both of those are indeed on my to do list, but just haven't got to them quite yet. Yep, I appreciate you being one of my regular viewers and I'm glad you enjoy the channel 😉👍

I got the 1:64 die cast and the hood opens forward and exposes the engine. I wish he would have showed that.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed it does, and I showed that on my video of it anyways 😉... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKnWaZWelqaJepo

[@pliantimpala7858]

Could you do Robbie Reye's Hell Charger from Agents of Shield?

[@CarStarz42]

Been on the fence about that one as I don't like all the over use of CGI in that series as it kind of just ruins it for me. I know there is a real Charger involved, but still. I'll think about it more, so maybe 😉

[@calculator1841]

Bonnie and Clyde 1967!

[@CarStarz42]

Yep, that one is on my long list to look into as well. Thanks😉👍

[@KevinRichards-my5oj]

The clown on the rear of the trailer looks like Pennywise from It.

[@CarStarz42]

Somewhat, or any psycho killer clown really, lol 😉

Stephen King was high as a kite on cocaine & drunk as a skunk at the time he directed Maximum Overdrive.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed, doesn't show at all, right? lol!

Welp, I guess I'll finally have to breakdown and use Amazon now.

Amazon has been out of stock for awhile, but the description has links to other sites that should have some in stock still.
