* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the case of the Tiny's five sons; while the end credits give all but Vic nicknames, the dialogue reveals two of the younger Doyles are named David.

* BigBad: Tiny Doyle, the CorruptHick who runs the town.

* CorruptHick: Tiny is all over this trope. While he doesn't want to overthrow the town like most examples, he and his sons use their wealth to thumb their noses at any law (or person) they don't like.

* CarMeetsHouse: Joey demolishes the Doyles' bar in the film's climax with his monster truck, and earlier on he kills one of the younger Doyles by running over a [[AbsudlyIneffectiveBarricade flimsy pre-fab office that he tried to hide in]].

-->'''Big Joe''': [[RageBreakingPoint These people]] (the Doyles) ''killed my family'', in a way so horrible that they may as well have blown them away with a ''shotgun'', and you're telling me that ''[[OffOnATechnicality you're letting them get away with a]]'' '''[[KarmaHoudini fine]]'''?!

Directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Don Michael Paul and Ned Beatty, the movie follows young truck driver Joey Russo whose home town is constantly tormented by local bigwig Tiny Doyle and his drunken sons. When Russo's family complains about their actions, Doyle's sons drunkenly run Joey's mom and younger brother and sister off the road, killing them. Joey and his father confront them over this and the Doyle boys get revenge by raping Joey's girlfriend and killing his father. Angry at the ineffectual law that lets them go free, Joey swears revenge and gets to work in the family garage, building a hellacious-looking monster truck to hunt down those responsible.

->''"Always use the right tool for the job!"''

* CaliforniaDoubling: Well, rural Ontario can pass for most of rural U.S, so it's not too noticeable.

This is a strange piece of Canucksploitation from the only decade where a monster truck could be a major plot device, [[TheEighties the 1980s]]. Like many exploitation films of the era, was made taking advantage of a loophole in a Canadian tax shelter law, lest you think the filmmakers had any delusion they were making art. If you want proof that some movies are made for no reason than to cash in on a fad, look no further. Cheesy and predictable, it still features some well-directed action scenes with the monster truck.

'''''Rolling Vengeance''''' is a 1987 revenge film featuring a monster truck as the tool of retribution. Yes, you read that right.

* DrunkDriver: What started the whole mess in the first place. Joey's mother is an anti-drunk driving activist and was protesting Tiny's bar due to the large number of drunk driving incidents in town that originate from the bar. Tiny's worthless sons are frequently smashed while driving and cause the accident that costs Mrs. Russo and her daughter their lives.

* BMovie: When your make a low-budget movie where a truck driver uses a monster truck to hunt down evil rednecks, it's obvious you're not going for OscarBait.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Well, rural Ontario can pass for most of rural U.S, so it's not to noticeable.

* MookHorrorShow: Joey's RoaringRampageOfRevenge tends to play out this way. We hardly get any shots of him inside the truck, while his victims flee desperately in terror from him. The truck itself is demonic-looking, completely with flames spewing out its exhaust pipes and a giant drill on the front. This could just have easily been a horror movie if the monster truck was driven by a villain instead.
* PoliceAreUseless: Joey's family tries to fight the Doyles legally at first, all to no avail, the Doyles manage to get away with vehicular manslaughter, rape and murder. The local sheriff is sympathetic to the the Russos, he just can't prove anything.
