Combine harvesters in popular culture

  • The novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest makes numerous references to the "combines of the white man".
  • The 1972 film Prime Cut features scenes in which people are chased by a combine through a wheat field and an entire car is turned into bales of hay and metal.

     

  • British Scrumpy and Western group The Wurzels had a number one hit in 1976 with "The Combine Harvester". A parody of the hit song by Melanie, "Brand New Key", it takes the form of a love song from the point-of-view of a farmer who proposes marriage to his girlfriend, offering to give her the key to the "brand-new combine harvester" to use on her 43 acres of arable land.
    • This song was used in soundtrack for British horror movie Evil Aliens, involving plot point of chasing and chopping humanoid aliens through wheat field, with combine harvester.
  • The 1993 film Son in Law features a combine with a fictional joystick control system. Real combines have marked controls, including pedals (two brake pedals for tighter turning) and a steering wheel, however some earlier models are steered using wheel brakes and a "T" bar.
  • The 1996 film Twister depicts a typical tornado tearing though a small, American, mid-western town. The tornado picks up and drops an International Harvester (IH) 1688 combine in front of the main characters' pickup truck as they race to gain distance on the tornado.
  • The 1998 video game Body Harvest features a combine in the Russia level, and is the only way to kill zombies for good. A farmer gives the player the keys to his combine as the zombies ate all of his shotgun shells.
  • The 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a mission ("Body Harvest") in which the player character is required to steal a combine harvester from a farm. Using a combine harvester itself to run over people head-on would, clearly, cut the victims into pieces, and their body parts are deposited at the rear.

  • In an apparent parody of Prime Cut, the 2006 Disney/Pixar film Cars features an angry anthropomorphized harvester, Frank, chasing Mater and Lightning through a field after the two were "tractor tipping" (which is similar to cow tipping). The tractors in the film were the film's equivalent of cows, and the harvester is the parallel of an angry bull. Later, Lightning has a nightmare in which he, The King, and Chick (who gets shredded) are chased again by Frank. The machine featured is red, which is the color code of American manufacturer Case IH; a brand of FIAT's Case-New Holland family.
