Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
To me, this movie is perfection.
From my favorite movies..
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The six drunken sons of influential local business owner Tiny Doyle have been terrorising the streets of their small town in their pick-up truck.Local trucker Big Joe Rosso has a wife named Kathy, a son named Joey, and two young daughters named Allison and Kristin.Big Joe and Joey do business with Tiny, delivering liquor to his bar, but that doesn't stop Tiny's son Vic from driving drunk and running Kathy off the road, killing Kathy, Allison, and Kristin.Thanks to Tiny's influence, the local judge sets Vic free after ordering Vic to pay a $300 fine.Lieutenant Sly, one of the local cops, is sympathetic toward the Rosso family, but Sly is about to retire, and Tiny has a lot of clout in this town.Enraged and bereaved, Big Joe goes after Vic, but the Doyles kill Big Joe. After that, they rape Joey's girlfriend Misty.Enraged and frustrated, Joey builds a monster truck out of junked car and truck parts, with seven-foot tall tires, a flame thrower, and a giant retractable combination drill and metal cutter mounted on it.Joey is out to do what the local authorities cannot or will not do...put an end to the Doyles once and for all.From the eighties, comes the best Monster Truck revenge film ever made, with Ned Beatty.It's basically your average revenge flick, with the star looking like a cross between Kiefer Sutherland and James Van Der Beek, putting in an okay performance of one of the most unluckiest kids alive.He lives in the worlds smallest town, there is only one bar, and you know his family are going to die, because when they are on screen during the first act, there is a hazy sheen to the lighting, whenever they are on screen.He builds his monster truck, his girlfriend gets violated, so he carries on, can you blame him? It's quite a brutal film to watch, and the violence is pretty full on, but it's great to see Beatty and his band of Chainsaw Massacre alike family and him mocking them.Forgettable, but watchable.Just change the picture IMDb please, I feel like a redneck.
If there's a better monster truck revenge movie out there, please direct me to it. I caught this chopped up on cable, so some language and violence might have been cut out, but what I was left with was an entertaining movie about a young trucker who A-Teams a giant killer truck in his barn and goes after the drunken yokels what killed his family. I'm kind of surprised I'd never heard of this movie before I saw the listing and the world monster truck and revenge. Nobody immediately recognizable in it except for Ned Beatty Ben Gazarra-ing (it's a verb, look it up) as a sleazy bar owner with Wolverine hair and a pro-drunk driving policy. He's such a creep the local law enforcement don't seem to mind some phantom vehicle offing his kin, which was almost refreshing in a way for this type of genre film. The finale does fall a little flat in places though, but all in all this was an entertaining little flick that gives the visceral satisfaction of seeing bad guys ground under the wheels of a beWheemoth monster truck. Well done.
The Monster truck movie of all monster truck movies. After rednecks terrorize a young man and his family, he seeks revenge and boy does he get it! Using only the top equipment. This contains everything one would expect and ask for in a monster truck film: cars crushed, violence (not gory), humor (if you can't find humor in this, well, I don't know what to tell you, although there are some very sad parts), the building of Rolling Vengeance, bar fights, AND an interesting story line... Who would have thought! The truck Rolling Vengeance was built by one of the top monster truck drivers Mike Welch in 1986. You can't go wrong with this one. I would most definitely recommend this movie to anyone and everyone!
The story is simple. A bunch of redneck terrorize the streets of their town with their pick up. They accidentally kill a women with her two children. Her husband wants revenge, they kill him too. But the family prodigal son wants revenge too, he build a monstertruck, and he plants to kill the rednecks who murder his family. The rest of the movie is a mixt of bar fights, car chase and bigfoot carnage. The action scene are really weak and the acting is even worse. However, the characters are funny, we have a topless bar owner and his beer drinking redneck truck driver sons, a good father and his truck driver prodigal son. If you like trucks, beer, shotgun, topless dancers, trucks and bar fight you'll love this movie. If you don't, try to avoid Rolling Vengeance.
