The van
The titular "Supervan" was customized by George Barris, based on a stock Dodge Sportsman van.[3] Among its most unusual features, it featured solar panels, the ability to emit laser beams, and an entire custom body.[4] Coffman called it a "bizarre, 70s-futuristic beast", and there were scale reproductions sold as merchandising for the film – which is unusual for the genre. The film features a cameo appearance by Charles Bukowski[5]
Quotes
This is a movie that takes vans very seriously, (...) the ultimate van nerd movie— Jason Coffman, article about vansploitation films.[6]
