Death on Wheels Tournament - Maximum Overdrive (No. 4) vs. Land of the Dead (No. 5)
For my money, any semi with a Green Goblin head is a good semi with a Green Goblin head. But that kind of old-school folk wisdom goes without saying, no? The truck from Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive is clearly a horror movie icon, and racked up quite a body count in the 1986 thriller. That's what lands it the No. 4 seed.
And in the other corner, fifth-seeded and less-iconic "Dead Reckoning" RV from 2005's Land of the Dead. Custom made to destroy zombies, it also has the same impact on non-zombies (aka "pedestrians"). The Goblin is more famous, but Dead Reckoning is armed to the teeth -- if the Goblin had any weapons, maybe it wouldn't have succumbed to Emilio Estevez's rocket launcher.
Time for video clips!

Goblin Truck, are you ready? Dead Reckoning, are you ready? Let's get it on!
