It's just lame.  The survivors from the truck stop get away to the marina, and the 'green goblin' truck magically tracks them there and manages to run down one of the truckers. Emilio Estevez shoots the truck with a rocket launcher, which stops it. The group gets on a boat and leaves. An epilog states that a Russian 'weather satillite' used it's armament of lasers and nuclear missiles (that is not a misprint) to 'destroy a UFO' - wasn't the effect suppossedly caused by us passing through the tail of a comet? Yes. So this is a completely new 12th hour plot twist? Yes. Then it states that Earth passes out of the comet tail as predicted (in the opening exposition scene), and everything presumably returns to normal. It ends with the little tagline "The survivors of the Dixie Boy are still survivors." Now the fact that this film was in fact directed by the author of the story it borrows from is nothing short of criminal <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I loved the original story, Trucks. Ending to it: The few people to make it out of the truck stop realize that now-automated factories will continue to spit out new vehicles and other things with motors. They are going to basically have to go back to the caves, and the main character speculates on teaching their children by firelight: this is the moon god, this is the sun god, this is an 18-wheel semi overwhelming a hunter. He looks up at the fighter planes leaving contrails in the sky. "I wish I could believe there were people in them".</blockquote>
