In c. 1977 Bud Haggart, an actor who appeared in many industrial training films in and around Detroit, performed in the first film realization of the description and operation of the "Turboencabulator", using a truncated script adapted from Quick's article. Bud convinced director Dave Rondot and the film crew to stay after the filming of an actual GMC Trucks project training film to realize the Turboencabulator spot.[7]

In c. 1988 the Chrysler Corporation "manufactured" the Turboencabulator in a video spoof, with Haggart reprising his role from the GM film.
Encore!
