Trivia[]
- Despite the fact that the plot says the taxi murders gang members, the taxi seems to take its revenge out on random people of different age.
- However, it could be that the people he killed were the gang members who killed him and then went their separate ways.
- The year 1982 was the year J.G. Quintel was born. There are several episodes with the year 1982 as a cameo.
- The movie is possibly based off the 1983 feature film , Christine and 1977 feature film, The Car, as both have killer cars, and in The Car, a woman is killed by the car when it drives into her home, similar to the scene with the woman in the bathroom.
- It may also be based on the 1990 feature film I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle, about a motorcycle possessed by an evil spirit, and set in England.
- Apparently one track was reused from the 2005 film War of the Worlds right before the taxi struck the middle-aged man.
- The film is in black and white, although it was made in 1982. This effect could have been used to make the movie appear creepier than what it actually was.
- This can also be a reference to the Monty Python "Killer Car" sketch.
