    Storyline

    Edit
    Construction workers building an airstrip on a small Pacific Island encounter an ancient non-material lifeform which has lived in the ruins of an ancient temple for millenia. The entity is of course malevolent and commandeers the earthmoving equipment to the general detriment of all concerned. —Bill Leue <leue@crd.ge.com>

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This film later gained renewed interest and ultimately cult status when it was the subject of jokes on both Beavis and Butt-Head (1993) and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (2009).
    • Goofs
      When Chub (Neville Brand) ignites the signal fire, he is standing too close and singes the left side of his face. You see him touch his face when he is running away from the flames. Through the rest of the movie only his right side of his face is shown to the camera.
    • Quotes

      Lloyd Kelly: How do you go about killing a machine?

      Dennis Holvig: A machine? It's too heavy to hang and it's too big to put in the gas chamber.

    Yes, a consensus all-time blockbuster.
    KILLDOZER, progenitor of more collegiate howls of laughter than even the 1974 Wisconsin Badger football team, and that was a bad, bad team.

    Two big stars, Clint Walker (movies) and Carl Betz (TV) peeking out from hiding, trying to figure out how to kill KILLDOZER -- "Can't shoot it...won't fit in a gas chamber." (!!!) When it came up for rerun the student lounge was jammed full.

    A construction crew on a tiny island, a huge bulldozer (sorry, KILLDOZER) with a roaring diesel engine. And yet, eerily silent as it maneuvers around hills to spring, well crawl, out at its next victim.

    KILLDOZER!!! The two-mile-an-hour menace no one could escape.
