Has anyone seen 'Roadkill'? I think it was actually called 'Joyride' when it was released in America. Paul Walker from 'The Fast and The Furious' is in it.
Can someone please explain the ending for me?! I was really enjoying the movie right up untill the final scene when some smarta$$ decided that it'd be a good idea to throw in that rather stupid plot twist!

How the hell can Rusty Nail still be alive????? He was covered in blood and quite clearly dead when the police pulled him out of his truck!! What was that thing about him being a driver of an ice truck?? The dude driving the ice truck was killed after he gave the boys their credit card back right near the start of the movie!!

I'm pi$$ed off now. Why did they have to ruin the whole thing by trying to be clever and having a 'twist' that can't possibly make any sense whatever way you look at it!!

I saw the movie about two weeks ago on cable and believe it or not missed the final scene. I think it might be that the CB radio is really haunted and posessed the truck driver. That's just a guess though. Let me ask you, what happened in the final scene? Maybe that can help me figure it out.

at the end the man pulled out of the truck wasnt Rusty Nail it was the driver of the ice truck that was killed near the beginning. Rusty Nail put him in the truck and i guess layed something over the gas pedal he just wanted too make it look like it was him that was killed but it wasnt, it was the ice man.

I don't know, perhaps they have intentions on a sequel.

Thank you, thank you for clearing that up for me.
Like I said, I really really enjoyed the movie but I just didn't understand the ending and it made me seriously annoyed.
It makes sense now - cheers!

I saw Joyride & i liked it, it was a good flick. That was messed up when the truck driver who was stalking them told Paul & Steve Zahn to walk into that restaurant buttnaked, i was like oh my god. I was laughin my a## off. I forgot how it ended but the police killed the truck driver i think. Steve Zahn is gonna be in a new movie with Martin Lawrence in January called National Security, i saw the previews for it when i saw Steven Seagal & Ja Rule's terrible movie Half Past Dead.
