thread_title: Movie Ending

message: If, as the intro states, this movie is "a screenplay inspired by (but not based on) King's short story "Trucks" " then should it be in the "Films based on Stephen King's works" category? Irrevenant 07:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Stephen King article states, contradicting the first paragraph here, that the film is not based on "Trucks." Could somebody clarify and correct? Thanks, --Ben  T/C  08:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Stephen King loosly based this film around one of his earlier short stories, Trucks, but the differences between the film and the short story are actually slight. Both involve trucks coming alive and trapping people in the Dixie Boy Diner, demanding to be refueled or threatening to run over the patrons. I think it would be more than reasonable to put this film into the "Films based on Stephen King's works" category. Jimd 16:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this listed as a film based on an urban legend? I don't want to take that out without seeing if there's some reason for it, but as any such urban legend isn't listed in the article itself, and it.. isn't based on an urban legend, I see no reason for that being there. --user.lain (talk) 07:01, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed.  If it is part of an urban legend then somebody who can cite it can reinsert it.   a_man_alone (talk) 07:29, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
