But this Futurama episode was already done (and purposely copied in the episode) by the 1983 movie about a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. The movie and the possessed car in it was named "Christine". That's also a Plymouth fury in the same colors in the Futurama episode.

The point of the Futurama cars is that they're AIs/robots with robo-lycanthropy

Are you suggesting the Cruz vehicle had robo lycanthropy??!!?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

No, that's just the meme image.

The Cruz did it for the love of the game.

And the movie is the adaptation of a Stephen King book

And also Bender's car form was derived from the 1977 horror B-movie The Car, which was a Lincoln Continental modified to have a menacing visage.
