Short description
The film is set in the fictional Utah community of Santa Ynez, which is being terrorized by a mysterious black coupe that appears out of nowhere and begins running people down. After the car kills off the town's Sheriff, it becomes the job of Captain Wade Parent to stop the murderous driver.
What's left behind the scenes
- It took 10 months for 12 people to build four versions of the Car. The actual work took 8 weeks. The car used for stunts had to be equipped with numerous safety systems and mechanisms.
- The car was specially designed for this film by the renowned automotive designer George Barris (1925-2015), who repeatedly created cars for the American film industry, including the Batmobile for the 1966 film.
- Four cars were assembled for filming – one for close-up shots and three for stunts. During filming, two cars were destroyed, and one is now kept in a private collection.
- To give the Car a 'sinister' look, as the director requested, George Barris lowered its roof by 7.6 centimeters and raised and lengthened the fenders.
