    In the 1986 movie "Maximum Overdrive," the White Western Star "Green Goblin" truck emerges as an indelible character in its own right. This mammoth of a truck adorned with a menacing Green Goblin mask on its grille, becomes the physical embodiment of the film's apocalyptic chaos. Under the influence of a mysterious extraterrestrial force, this mechanical behemoth wreaks havoc on a world plunged into chaos by machines gone rogue. Its sheer size, distinctive appearance, and relentless pursuit of the film's protagonists contribute to the truck's iconic status in the realm of cult classic science fiction, making it a symbol of malevolent machinery and terror on the open road.

    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.

      @@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.

      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.
