--- SPOILER ALERT ABOUT THE 'PLOT' (if there's one on this film) ---
This film is definitely crappy, its aesthetic repulsive (as far as I could tell from a Millcreek entertainment DVD). Nonetheless, once you get to the first chase scene you start to realize this z-movie is actually trying to accomplish something, helped by a three stoogian lead with at least one good actor. Then you go deeper into the plot : you discover the monster truck, Twister, blessed with an IA given by a surrealistically sexy 20 year old to his boyfriend for his championship of Monster Truck; a program at first designed to control the monster truck to crush cars in a line. Then the sexy scientist gets taken hostage by the three stooges and next thing you know, a revenge plan appears in the monster truck mind, by love for its creator (she has a voice by then). Improbability ensue. The music has its moments, with classical melodies, junctioned with blues and raw country, even by some Jaws blinks. The film itself offers some weirdly fine jokes, a la Troma, and then some good storyboarding about nonsensical chase scenes. I couldn't help but fall for some great dialogs and laugh at this mess of morons. The last shot is a shot's dream for any silliness fans. To maintain the poorness of this mess is true, but this could need a remake a-la Cohen brothers. I wouldn't even be surprised if they saw this film and though about it, how better it should have been.
