- GoofsAfter Archie shoves the car jacker into the trunk, the would-be thief shoots a hole in the lid through which his blood squirts as he is made into 'fuel'. The hole, and the rag Archie uses to block it, are no longer visible when Archie throws the crippled veteran into the trunk, but reappear later in the film when he pulls out the rag so that the car will run out of 'gas'.
- Quotes
Donald Watkins: Let's cut straight to the chase. You've invented what we've been calling in official documents, a blood car. You beat us when we didn't play fair, so now we've all agreed to act civil. Civility. Civilian. The civil war? They all started the same way, Archie. The Civil war was started over people using other people - black people-as servants. Not really like humans, but like animals, to pull carts and plant vegetables. And you know all about vegetables, don't you? It was a good idea, but it didn't work-the vegetable for the car thing. Slavery didn't work either, but that's because it was racist. Killing people for fuel is not racist. It's patriotic. It's all about making a sacrifice to fuel our cars, mow our grass, and grill our steaks-if you're not a charcoal man that is. Sure, it came down to us and the Russians, like everything else, and we've beaten 'em,. You've beaten them. Us has beaten them. US. Spell it out Archie, U. S. The US. No other nation can say that. Not even in their native tongue. Outer space is uncharted territory, no matter what they told you about Columbus. The plans just keep getting closer. The farther away we get from Antarctic oil drilling; hard-boiled potatoes, used in apple pies; the Euro. And tarantulas. Deadly tarantulas. For sale in vending machines. Do you understand what I'm saying to you? We need you to build another blood powered engine, we need your help. We need another blood car. We need blood trucks, blood tanks, blood planes, and blood lawnmowers. We need your work to continue. We can't duplicate it. We don't even understand how it works in the first place. How it could possibly work in the first place. But it does. We can't just release this to the public. No one wants hysteria, riots, mass graves. You don't mix milk chocolate and peanuts on your own. You leave it to the pros and reap the benefits. What do you say?

The film is set in the near future where gas costs hundreds of dollars to fill a tank. Only the most elite can afford to drive a car, making the cheapest of cars appear luxury if only for the fact that they can be powered down a road. The story concerns an elementary school teacher who seeks a method of clean-burning fuel to use in place of gasoline. As our teacher Archie loves his wheat grass, he tries to use it as an alternate fuel. During the experiment, he cuts himself, spilling blood into the mixture that makes an engine run. It's only later that he realizes its the blood and not the wheat grass creating the combustion. When he finds that the source runs out quickly, he abandons his life-loving peaceful ways and goes onto a killing spree to keep his car running. Plenty of humor runs between all the pseudo-violence as our poor anti-hero just wants to make good for the world, while spilling human blood. It was a joy to watch on the big screen and brought back memories of my drive-in days. (Yes, I'm old enough to remember drive-ins. They were outdoor theaters which you drove your car into, and... never mind.) Definitely a must-see destined for the cult-classic home DVD libraries.
