Whatâs on TV magazine have given it a very good rating. Do
you know any films like Convoy then V8KARLV8
as I havenât seen many others about.
Well if you thing about it when it came out, it was a first as the
film was based on a song, and I bet that it gets watched by more
people than one thinks . I have got it but as vhs video ,

I got smokey & the bandit, Cannonball & every which way but loose for christmas.
I also wanted hell drivers & the video of the dohar tv programme but I guess thats a birthday present.

Not very good Not very good
Its a classic mumble mumble.
I happen to know Brock Yates, the guy who not only ran the Cannonball runs, but also wrote the script for that abomination of a movie. I once told him that I thought the movie stunk (as did the sequel), and his response was âwell, I gave the producer what he wanted and he gave me a big check, so Iâm happyâ.
Your right brit pete it said before the movie started
that the film was based on a song. Smokey and the
bandit and Cannonball run are ok films to watch.
Whatâs hell drivers daxi not heard of that one .

I vaguely remember a b&w film like that with Sid James in it. Is that the same film?
Btw, HOW DARE YOU SAY ANYTHING AGAINST SMOKEY & THE BANDIT!!!
IT IS A CLASSIC!!! â â â â YOU ALL!!!
Just to put a couple of you right;
Yves Montand starred in a French film called âWages of Fearâ which involved running nitro or dynamite over some S. American mountains.
Sid James, Stanley Baker, Patrick McGoohan, and a host of other fifties stars were in a British film called âHell Driversâ, about tipper drivers with bonneted Kew Dodges. Someone on here has got an avatar of one.
Bogey and Gearge Raft were owner drivers of a very old open cab job hauling market produce called âThey Drive By Nightâ.
I liked Convoy, but not enough to watch it again last night, but my all time favourite is âDuelâ. How many times have I been cheesed of by some dingbat busting a gut to get past then slowing down? Surreal though, and all the better for it.
Salut, David.
Thanks for the post Convoy - Itâs a great film.
The last time I saw it I was 11 years old, in 1978, at the local cinema.
I watched it on BBC 1 last night, and woke up âstingy eyedâ this morning.
Do any of the old people on here remember the U.K. Convoy Song ?
It started like this,
" It was a foggy day, on the 6th of May , in a Scammell hauling bricks"
Come on oldies, you remember Radio 1 in the 70âs
Cheers,
Niall.
Niall . go I come out in the open as well as you and say, Yes I do
remember the song as well. DO you recall who sang the version if so
put it on the forum.PLEASE
I think Convoy GB was listed as being done by Laurie lingo and the dipsticks.
Otherwise known as a couple of radio 1 DJâs from the time, their names escape me for now.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chris Christopheson mmmmm, video set, thanks!
k2k,âŚ
Those 2 DJsâŚ
Was it Dave Lee Travis and Paul Burnett ?
