The Junkman Is a 1982 independent action comedy film, which spent two years in production. To make the film, H. B. Halicki used his own personal collection of over 200 cars, toys, and guns—including Eleanor, the star of his 1974 cult classic Gone in 60 Seconds. [citation needed]

The Junkman is the second installment of Halicki's film trilogy. It presents Gone in 60 Seconds and Deadline Auto Theft as films within a film. The opening car chase sequence, which involves a 1974 Bricklin SV-1, is part of Deadline Auto Theft's storyline. [citation needed]

In the film, a man hires contract killers and tasks them with killing his brother-in-law, who he resents. The target figures out that he has an enemy within his own company, but still wants to attend the premiere of his recently-completed film.
