Thank you!!!!!!!!!! Let's celebrate the seventies!!!!
Beautiful classic trucks are the stars here in this never heard of movie ,Love these American classic Trucker movies from the 1970s 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧The Legendary Charles Napier remembered as Murdoch in First Blood Part 2 is legendary in this in an early Role
From internet movie data base:
I'm biased. I was in it. I had 5 roles
What an experience! I was in the movie with 5 roles. I'm the radio guy at beginning of the movie and the on camera newscaster are the end of the movie. I'm the silent, smiling cop inspector with Chuck Napier(my future roommate) and Sonny Liston. I'm the flamboyant assistant with the insane yellow/brown wig and 'stache as well. We shot most of it in Tucson and a little of it in El Paso. Great truck scenes and nice scenery. Muddled plot. Film had to be shut down til more money was raised. Egan wouldn't come back unless salary doubled. Napier became the lead. Action plenty, but, hard to figure out. I was assistant to director Parkhurst as well. I brought in Rosenthal, Bosnia, and pretty Pat Magrini for roles. The behind the scenes story is unbelievably wild. It would be a great book. (Oh, Ed Begley, Jr was on the crew and the sound guy, Keith Wester would go on to be nominated for 6 Oscars.)

Cool that Triple T is still there today ain't what it was but it's there I was there a few months back
Id loved to met Sonny Liston some would say big George Foreman got his terrifying stare down from sonny in there sparring days
My Dad was a Trucker in the 70's . 😊 great movie Drive in Quality ...💯😉
You see a lot of cab overs . In this movie. Not to today
@@CueBallRacerloved the cabovers 🙏🏼💯🇺🇸☕️
Why you speak russian, a почему по русски?
@@CueBallRacer cab overs were a thing in the 70s and 80s in America, but faded in the early 90s (thank god)
@@nicktykhnenko8601 voy hablar en alemán o ruso es cosa que te viene valiendo 4 kilos de corneta 😁👍
The "Action scene" with the bikers is pretty epic! Lots of dead-pan reactions and almost action!
This looks pretty darn good.
Sonny Liston would die the year this film was released. RIP Champ
😢
rest in powa Sonny
No Oscars for the acting but this is the best! This is why I love old movies.😆👍🏻
seems like a ripoff of Hijack! Unless that was a ripoff of this… though Aaron Spelling wasn’t a low budget producer🤷♀️ On the other hand there is some huge propaganda elements to this film and its underlying story… its no wonder that Hijack! has same message. This is a pro-trucking propaganda piece and also, govt/aerospace/ ‘merica, and some anti-mexico sprinkled in like ghost pepper.😂
I gave it a thumbs up. Good cast.
All those classic cab over rigs. And it’s cool to see the triple T in its hayday.
Top it all off with some music from Marty Robbins, love it.
Thank you for sharing this awesome part of history.
Nice Mack Trucks
Ya i was born in 65 so It was Nice to see the 70's again, that said I think i suffered Brain damage from the Plot. Do not get Me wrong ,I was not forced to watch ,I enjoy these actors i had known and it was like a time machine for me, so thank you for posting it.
Thank you 🍿🥤🖖🏻🥃
The cherry on the top for the ambitious Mike Parkhurst who was riding high on the backs of truckdrivers in the 70's. Truck drivers were restless and his crappy magazine Overdrive gave a voice to some of their issues. He formed an association of owner-operators and promoted the age-old tactic of a truckers strike. Went nowhere...as usual. Parkhurst also seemed to disappear after the movie Convoy put his effort to shame.
Outstanding Movie of it's time
My Uncle Started his Trucking a little Earlier, and they were respected as The True Truckers
Thanx for sharing this Great 👍 Movie with us
Never new Sonny Liston acted
Man i always loved big sonny liston he had a heavy jab with both hands and that 84" reach didnt miss much wished he could've fought ali aleast 5 years sooner but floyd Patterson ducked him for that long before he got that title shot sonny was aleast mid thirties then
This was the 2nd show of an early 70's drive in movie night for sure.
Nice film
Saturday movie night
❤😊
Sam Blue… what a total chad (alpha). Peak masculinity… he’s the kinda guy youd want to work for. PS: dude, the passenger jet exhaust is bananas. I suppose I never contemplated jet-emission standard history, and the resultant poor performance of past machines.🤔 Great movie so far. Im locked in! PSS: back then, even a CEO would get dirty!😂😂 PSSS 55:06 some interesting comedic irony!
The Triple T truck stop of Tucson Arizona has also appeared in White Line Fever in 1975.
The Triple T sucks. I've been there twice. Food was terrible, and so was the service. They did have beer.
@@geraldscott4302 Apparently, complaints about the Triple T are very common, especially that the service is incredibly slow and the food is very bad.
I’ve been to the triple T a few times. According to old timers it was the place to be in the 60s-80s. Now it’s run down shell of its former self. To add insult to injury a flying J opened across the street and stole a lot of its business.
Ага, you right, Each year I travel to Nogales.
Unfortunately it's a pilot now.
Thank you for sharing this movie
The soundtrack is groovy.
офигеть. этому фильму уже 54 года . 54 года назад его сняли!
Ну и что, старое всегда лучше новых ситрелялок и поцелуев каждый по пять минут.
Greetings from Pleasant Hill Missouri
All thumbs higher than high.
I was truck'in in the 70's, 1974 to 2024.
Weird but good movie!
Damn never knew Sonny Liston starred in a movie. Sad that this was only a few months before his tragic death...
As a truck driver. That was hard to watch LOL
Great Movie Thanks was a bit sceptical at first but turned out to be a great movie and Worth Watching
Starring Sonny Liston!
The Triple T will still be standing after the big one.
🤜🤛 🍻
A true masterpiece of a film.

good movie ccc but can i get back to chatting!!!!??????
Debra try turning your phone all the way off and on then log completely out of RUclips then back in and try again. T
hat should solve your chat issue. We missed you
This must be quite an early 'trucker' themed movie. Were there any before this ? ( I like 'Hijack' (1973) Adrian; UK/England
Trucking motto hurry up and wait !
Same music composer as Mr. Majestyk 1974?
A real time capsule.
Richard Egan is the lead actor in this movie, but he hardly in this movie?
Cool to see the TTT and various parts of I-10.
I’ll bet they’re shipping empty Copperhead boxes.
The TTT Truck Stop is still standing! On Benson Hwy. in Tucson.
Much of it the same as it was back in the days of this movie. I used to park in their lot when I was trucking.
I have been using that truck stop for many years and still do when I’m in the area. I started in the mid 80s when it was still fun. Going strong to this day, looking to retire soon though.

Dang!

hello, charles napier movies are very much loved in turkey, he watches a lot, charles napier is very much loved himself, god rest his soul, charles napier has a very favorite movie, but this movie is dubbed in Turkish
we want my movie to be called Moonfire 1970
Glad to hear that you are enjoying it in Turkey and that it's been dubbed into Turkish. Trucking on the open road is a sort of universal dream. Here in the UK there's nothing really in the way of wide open spaces and the freedom of the open road. We're too small and crowded. Best wishes.
sonny liston was my father
My condolences

Weird how when the blackmailer arrives at El Paso Truck Terminal he’s in a different taxi to the one he took from the airport…
18:10 Guy with the Gun just lets him break in 😄
Por que esse filme não é traduzido prá português??
Tucson!
اماكن التصوير جميلة ...رغم غياب فكرة الفيلم لم افهم على ماذا يدور ؟؟؟!!!
Balang riverside watching
1:06:22 fun fact, back in the old days, for six months of the year until 1986, and for five months of the year from 1987 to 1995, and all year in 1996 & 1997, it used to be an hour later in Juarez than El Paso. Until April 1998, when you entered Mexico you also entered the Central time zone.
Bookmarked
We are not really with Steven Spielberg..
Bonito filme mais a maioria quando são bons assim são tudo legendado 😢
Somehow this movie was both terribly good and magnificently bad. Took me about 1/3 of the way in to figure out that the elder Mexican was speaking w/ a German accent which was fitting as this production was a blend of Hogan's Heroes, Convoy, and Lost in Space all in one film. Still, one of my favs when I want to reminisce about life in the great southwest - not that long ago.
A young Charles Napier who years later played marshall Murdock who was Rambos token of affection in Rambo 2.
2 Classic Macks
I wanted to see the. Trucks not All the bad acting
Esse filme baita classico
ccc why was i blocked??????
😢😢
No..hanya nyahlangan saja..😢
Deb no one is blocked, especially you my love! But it may have to do with publishing rights and geo-locations (we have some films that do not have world wide status)... if you catch my vpn drift??
This may not be the worst movie I have ever seen...
But damn close
😅почему все старые фильмы такие наивные? люди раньше проще были или что?
