Is Reg's Ice Cream Truck the same make/type as the Ice Cream Truck in Cheech & Chong's "Nice Dreams" ? I havent seen Nice Dreams in years, so Im just going from memory......

Reg once said it was a Chevy 1950's (forget the year). I was a Good Humor vendor one summer and had a very similar truck--they call it the "California style" model. Nothing like cruising down dark, foggy roads late at night, the wind on one's face, the bells jingling in the breeze. People always stealing ice cream out of the back if I didn't always have the doors padlocked... Grrrrrr.

When I first starting watching Phantasm as a kid whenever I saw an ice cream truck go down my street I was like Marlon Brando in Street Car Named Desire instead of yelling screaming Stella Stella!!! I be yelling Reg Reggie!!! People thought I was crazy, but I was just showing appreciation to my favorite all time ice cream vendor from one of the best classic horror films. PhantasmPhan

I just thought the capsized shot of the ice cream truck was one of the cooler shots in the film. Quite eerie.
Excellent use of lighting and such.

About two years ago, we had a sudden inundation of ice cream trucks in our neighborhood. Sour-faced graver-types crisscrossed our sleepy neighborhood, blaring the standard warped tunes, sunup until late at night never stopping, even for a crowd of kids looking to buy ice cream. We saw them every day, and NOT ONCE did the trucks stop or vend a single ice cream cone. If you got stuck behind one, it would slow down to 5mph, and the driver would lean out and give you his best Tall Man glower. A few weeks of this even had me looking for silver spheres.
It would have been a great promo for PV!
