      movies from the late 70's through the 86's Were great, You got Robo-Cop, Smokey and the bandit, Convoy, Top Gun and Dukes of hazard. Most of them were about going against expectations of others and going through a rough patch of life and ending in a good way. I'm glad to see tv before everything went to CGI or Digitally altered media.

      I wish Sam Peckinpah's initial two-and-a-half hour version existed before they fired him and edited down to 90 minutes but at this point I'm pretty positive any existing footage from this movie has long been thrown out or destroyed. Studios did not hold onto extra reels like they do now since most everything is digital and I'm not even sure if they still use actual 35mm film cameras anymore

Don't regret the dozen years, but like so many other things, govt regs and corporate greed have sucked the fun out of it..

    I can't remember when but my dad (back in the very old days) used to copy all kinds of movies on to VHS tapes and Convoy was one of those movies.
    Convoy was (and still is) one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. In my mind back then: ''Fights were cool, trucks were cool, messing around with the cops was cool...¨.

    I was ten years old and obsessed with trucks when I saw this. We were in Shakey Town with a day to kill before a flight home to NZ. Me and mom went to this film and watched it 3 times over I was so happy and she was happy to nod off for a few hours - it was too hot outside to do anything - suited me fine I loved this movie! Seeing all the actors again after all these years - its like another world now.

      @@Lionn8563 At the time (late 70s) it was a nationwide fad with new lingo, music and movies like Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy. It was, to most non-truckers, a novel way to fight back against the new 55 mph speed limit and the scourge of radar. There was a boom in the radar detector market. And it introduced a lot of drivers to the American big truck culture. My long distance driving days are over and the interstates are so crammed now compared to the 70s that cross-talk with endless columns of 18 wheelers seems pointless.

    My big wish is that someday they'd revisit this movie and give us the movie a more sober Sam Peckinpah would've given us. Legend has it he shot enough footage for three films but once he was fired and the studio took over, they hacked the film to pieces, re-shot a bunch of scenes and simplified the movie to the point that it really has no story. Any of the socio-political stuff was cut, The Duck's backstory was cut, several scenes explaining why Ernest Borgnines' character was such an asshole was cut.... It almost got the Two-Lane Blacktop treatment.
    Would love to see the stuff Peckinpah shot.

    C.W. McCall was William Fries, a commercial artist and musician who worked in advertising. He created C.W. McCall for an Old Home Bread advertising campaign in the early '70s. He wrote the lyrics and sang the song heard in the ad, while Chip Davis, who worked for the same ad firm, wrote the music. (Davis founded the group Mannheim Steamroller in 1974.) The ad was a hit and won a Clio Award, leading to more ads and a series of C.W. McCall singles and albums. "Convoy" was his biggest hit, but he had 5 other singles reach the top twenty or better on the country charts. He died in 2022.

      спустя годы -- фильм без сюжета похож на один большой тупорылый комикс...для наивных дурачков в СССР, в США его мало кто смотрел, ибо бред сивой кобылы. За наезд на полицейского и не исполнение требования властей их бы там по крошили в мелкую капусту и замели под коврик.

    • @olegdivov
      @olegdivov 3 года назад +2

      @@igord1740 Простите, вам имя режиссера "Сэм Пекинпа" ничего не говорит, вот прямо от слова "вообще"? :)
      Тогда просто справочная информация. "Конвой", который, как вы уверяете, "в США мало кто смотрел", в 1978 году собрал у себя на родине 45 миллионов долларов и занял таким образом девятое место по продажам. Чтоб было, с чем сравнить: первое место взял "Бриолин", "Супермен" третье, "Челюсти-2" пятое. На всякий случай повторю: это строго национальный бокс-офис.
      Теперь про тупой комикс и бред сивой кобылы: фильм позиционировался как экшен-комедия, и снят на основе текста песни в стиле кантри 75-го года. Круче него в этом смысле наверное только "Battleship", снятый по игре "Морской бой" :)
      Теперь внимание, вопрос: мне, чтобы найти информацию по продажам "Конвоя" в США, хватило десяти секунд, а вам, чтобы выставить себя невеждой - полминуты, не меньше. Вам не кажется, что узнать правду тупо _быстрее_ и _легче_, чем писать в комментах ерунду?
      Не сочтите за оскорбление.

      The first had 23 channels, but 77 they had 40 channels. High end had "side bands" channels between normal channels so a 40 channel could have 120 channels. But very few had side band CB.
      If you were not around then, they were kind of like a cell phone, but you could only talk to people close to you.
      Channel 19 was a channel people kept tuned to. And 10 codes were used, something similar to police radio code.
