It is a road-roller, diesel engined, not steam. Steamroller is a colloquial term given to road-rollers, as all the early rollers were steam engined. I cannot find a company by the name of 'Rex' that produces rollers. Was 'Rex' only given as the brand name because of the name plate? Perhaps it is just a model name. -- Last edit: 2006-02-11 21:34:22 |

It may be a 1979 Rex SP848 Vibratory Compactor. Do a Google image search for "1979 rex sp848" to see a picture. |

Okay I have looked on Yahoo, MSN, Google and Wikipedia. No company called Rex exists. Terex but no Rex.There might have been a REX in the 70's, but I don't see no traces of it. |

Rex was a trade/model name for trash compactors, forestry equipment and other heavy machines. I don't remember the company name (may have been something like rexwork) but I believe it was sold or went out of business about 10 or 15 years ago. You can find all kinds of used REX equipment for sale (search for "rex compactor" pictures). |

Rex 700. Don`t know if it`s a 1979 model. |

Rex SP700. That`s the correct name. With custom side panels and seat to hide the real driver. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2009-06-21 14:31:52 |

This scene where the mechanized Road Roller barges onto the baseball field, full of children was filmed at the family park directly across the road from Castle Hayne’s enormous General Electric (GE) Plant that produces Aircraft engines. The GE Plant is just minutes outside the city limits of Wilmington. |

Type in rex sp700 and there are a few that look just like this. To me this is the most evil machine in the movie. |

God this scene always makes me queasy. Poor kid. But cool machine! |

SP700 seems to be the correct model name. |

Does anyone notice, that steering wheel poorly attached to the front panel? |

Mock steering wheel and mock seat. All to hide the real driver. And it says: "NO RIDERS" above the logo.  -- Last edit: 2016-07-19 18:45:15 |

Could have been a lot worse! The scene called for the roller to roll over a dummy full of blood and it would've painted the field red but instead what happened was akin to flattening a tube of toothpaste with a rolling pin; all the fake blood got forced into the dummy's head which exploded. Since the dummy was supposed to represent a child, the MPAA made them cut the scene. This movie needs a director's cut release and it needs it now. |

Rex started making equipment in 1962, they ceased making mass produced equipment in 2000 after they were bought out. Their factory was in Milwaukee, and incredibly the factory...![[Image: worldheadquartersrex.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/30498/worldheadquartersrex.jpg) ... Still exists! And to add more proof that this is the same place. Here's a badge from an SP848 Model similar to an SP700, showing where it was made! ![[Image: rexbadgesp848.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/30498/rexbadgesp848.jpg) -- Last edit: 2022-09-09 16:13:19 |
