  • The Van was one of those typical American exploitation movies. Central to the theme was a young man who gets the notion to forget about college and buy an expensive Dodge van. (en)
  • The van must provide the engine that drives the plot forward and/or provide the stage in which the action of the plot actually takes place. ... The characters in Vansploitation films generally have goals oriented toward spending as much time in their van as possible, or in putting money into improving their van's performance and/or appearance via customization. ... In short, most van movies are about getting laid and winning road games or other competitions . (en)
  • Most vansploitation movies were about harmlessly rebellious young people outwitting the stodgy authority figures bent on stopping them from having a good time. (en)
