Plot

[edit]

Clint Morgan (Mark Schneider) goes to The Invitational Freak-Out for custom van enthusiasts intending to enter his van, The Sea Witch, in a contest. In saving a runaway, Karen (Katie Saylor), from rapist bikers, Clint loses his van. He goes to his friend Bosley (Tom Kindle), a rebel designer, who lets Clint and Karen enter his solar-powered laser-firing custom van, Vandora, in place of The Sea Witch.

Cast

[edit]

The van

[edit]

The titular "Supervan" was customized by George Barris, based on a stock Dodge Sportsman van.[3] Among its most unusual features are solar panels, the ability to emit laser beams and an entire custom body.[4] Coffman called it a "bizarre, 70s-futuristic beast" and scale reproductions were sold as merchandising for the film, which is unusual for the genre. The film has a cameo appearance by Charles Bukowski[5]
