Big Rigs in the movies.
 
I love these old trucker movies.:cool:



Convoy is my favorite! There are a few of clips on You Tube, but they contain some adult language. Here's a clip of the surviving truck...

Dude there are a lot of good trucker movies. Can't forget the KW in the original Smokey and the Bandit, that was a sweet rig. Of course the Rubber Duck's big black Mack is still one of the top trucks in movies.

Black dog was good I thought

The Kenworth in Smokey And The Bandit is still the best looking.

Here's a cool remix from Smokey and the Bandit II, with a good song from Tool in the background.[guitar]

What about the weekly series on TV......Movin On and BJ and the Bear.

They were a little corny at times but the trucks were the stars.

A very strange movie. It is said that Steven Spielberg was shown seven different semi-trucks to choose from; he chose a Peterbilt because the cab resembled a face. And he says that the most frightening aspect of the story was that truck driver was never seen. It was shot in 13 days. Oh, and the license plates on the front of the truck are from other cars the driver had destroyed and kept as trophies

Duel is my personal favorite. Seen it numerous times. Other than Maximum Overdrive, the others I havent seen a whole lot

OTT was a good movie. :)

I like Black Dog, but the editing was horrible. Some of the acting isn't that good either.
