The Cars That Ate Paris!

So there's this Australian fella, Peter Weir, and he directed movies like Dead Poets Society and The Truman Show, and it's nice that he made a few bucks doing that stuff. But before he hit it big in Hollywood, he made a movie about an Australian town in which the inhabitants cause car crashes in order to loot the wreckage: The Cars That Ate Paris! We haven't seen this one yet, but the trailer (jump to watch it) sure looks promising; check out the blade-festooned armored Beetle! Thanks to Rex for the tip.
