| Joy Ride | comment |
Joy Ride is a 2001 horror film written and produced by J. J. Abrams and starring Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, and Leelee Sobieski. It subsequently spawned two direct-to-video sequels: Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead (2008) and Joy Ride 3: Roadkill (2014).All three films follow roughly the same narrative: A group of young adult pranksters make the big mistake of pissing off a deranged truck driver, "Rusty Nail" (voiced by Ted Levine). Being the old-school road-rager that he is Rusty retaliates by stalking and terrorizing said pranksters in his large and ominous Peterbilt and often taking out a few innocent bystanders in the process. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Joy Ride / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: When Rusty asks for an apology for the prank, Fuller responds instead with a diatribe. This results in an Oh, Crap! when Rusty implies he's behind them by commenting on their burned-out tail light. | |

Chronically Crashed Car: In all three movies Rusty's truck is destroyed. Shot by police and crashed into a hotel in the first one; set on fire and driven over a cliff in the second; ripped apart by a junk-yard crane and dropped into a car crusher in the third. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Joy Ride / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: The ice truck driver from the gas station, who is heavily implied to have been the body left inside Rusty's truck, although that body was dressed differently then he had been, and seemed to have fresh blood on it rather than days-old dried blood. Rusty had also seemed to only smash through the trailer, while not touching the cab as much when he plowed through the ice truck, adding some ambiguity as to whether it was his body, or another ice truck driver’s. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Joy Ride / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Largely averted. Officer Keeny quickly figures out that the boys know something about the attack on Ellinghouse and finds the right way to get them to talk, while his boss Sheriff Ritter takes their information and then sends them out of town due to their being nothing better to do. In the climax, the police almost accidentally kill Venna by triggering a Booby Trap, but then stand down Rusty Nail's approaching truck, firing through the windshield for a while, helping disable it. Played straighter in the alternate ending, where the cops are more obstructive, don't believe the brothers when they figure out what Rusty is about to do, and don't face down and fire at his truck. | |

Creepy Good | |
| Joy Ride / int_8c00901a | comment |
Creepy Good Officer Kenny has a bit of a creepy smile as he picks away on his toothpick and asks questions and then takes the boys to see a man Rusty nearly killed, but considering that they are holding information back from them, and he can tell this and just wants to get them talking, this is fairly justified. The ice truck driver is an imposing man, carrying a heavy object around who speeds after the brothers, but only to return a credit card they left, with the heavy object being a tire checker necessary in his line of work. The guy doesn't even take offense at how they'd been scared of him, admitting that his mustache is a little intimidating and his wife has been asking him to shave it. | |

| Joy Ride / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Lewis deciding to go out of his way and bail his estranged brother out of jail is a nice, heartfelt moment. Then he gets pulled over for making an illegal u-turn and having a broken tailight. The ice truck Driver turning out not to be Rusty Nail, leaving the characters relieved, is followed by the real Rusty Nail turning up rather brutally. In one of the commentaries, J.J. Abrams lampshades this, noting that when people are laughing with relief in the middle of a horror movie, something bad is seconds away from happening. | |

Hollywood CB | |
| Joy Ride / int_bf95c3d9 | comment |
Hollywood CB: Many times throughout the movies, the main characters and their pursuer have inexplicable privacy on the radio. In Real Life, State Highway Patrols have a tendency to monitor CB channels and other truckers would also be listening in so in reality the cops would have been all over Rusty about half-way through the first movie. | |

Car Fu | |

Car Fu: A good chunk of the movies is Rusty playing bumper cars with the protagonists' vehicles. | |

Toxic Friend Influence | |
| Joy Ride / int_cdad4b25 | comment |
Toxic Friend Influence: Fuller pressures his brother (who admittedly does get into it fairly easily) into pretending to be a girl on the radio to prank a stranger. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Joy Ride / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: The confrontation between Rusty Nail and the Jerkass guest takes place behind a wall, with only a few muffled sounds coming through. The end result speaks for itself. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
| Joy Ride / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Rusty's motivation is to make make Fuller and Lewis pay for the little incident at the hotel, through psychological torture, cold-blooded murder or a little bit of both. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Joy Ride / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Sheriff Ritter, who makes it clear how disgusted his is by the prank and its results, but doesn't press the matter, just giving the brothers tongue lashing and ordering them out of town before focusing his efforts on the dismal chance of tracking down Rusty Nail. | |

Mama's Boy: Fuller accuses Lewis of being one (even giving him it as a CB handle) and at the very least he is closer to their mom than Fuller | |

Manchild: Fuller is a little too childishly eager to play stupid pranks and aggravate people, while whining away responsibility for his actions and trash-talking their parents. | |
