* [[Marionette Master]]: Stephen King [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/27/MaximumOverdrivePoster.jpg on one of the posters].
* [[More Dakka]]: Hendershot's gun collection in the truck stop's basement and at one point trucks call an armed military vehicle for assistance.
* [[Not So Above It All]]: The Bible Salesman. When Brett threatens to chop his hand off for feeling her up, he makes a remark about how he's [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|never heard women swearing when he was a boy.]] The second one of the Trucks mows down his car, the first words to come out of his mouth are [[Precision F-Strike|"COCKSUCKER!!!"]]. [[Up Toto Eleven|And it escalates from there]], till the Green Goblin Truck gets him.
* [[Plug N Play Technology]]: Kind of a weird partial example. There's no actual interfacing of differing technologies per se, but the weird alien radiation which animates the Earth's gadgets does endow those gadgets with some unexpected abilities -- such as the ability to see/sense humans, or to move independently even with no built-in means of locomotion.

* [[Psycho Strings]]: A guitar variation of it plays whenever a machine attacks.
