What's your favourite "trucker" movie?

If anyone tried it over here, VOSA would pounce on them for the dodgy headlight and unstrapped load first… :smiling_imp:

Dave tried to menace the 4x4 cutting him up on Euston Road, but his attempts to re-create “So much for Pathos” with a couple of tonnes of paper roll fell flat when he parked across the box junction, and got busted by supercamera.”

Don’t know the name but it’s a black and whitey, features tippers, (four-leggers on quarry runs), they all smoked their own and looked filthy dirty. I just remember the lead driver (most drops in a day…) was the toughest and the new guy needed to earn money and was challenging him by taking the dangerous short-cut. The action was speeded up immensely in places and as young as I was, I remember thinking it looked a bit unreal…

Hell Drivers, cracking film, believe it is now used as a training film in the tipper industry. :laughing:

Has to be Star Trek 3, The Voyage Home.

“Admiral, there be whales here!”

Sublime stuff.

I don’t suppose Day of Disaster would make too many truckers top trucking films.

This trailer is quite dramatic though.

Based on a true story.

IMDB entry.

Womb raider
Shaving Ryan’s privates
Butman and throbbin
And my all time fave
Desperately seeking ■■■■■

We are including what comes on the DVD player with the curtains shut on a loading bay right?

That last one is distburbing on many levels… :open_mouth:
A bit like “Raiders of the lost Kark” (American)
or anything with a “King Tut” label on it.

“Give my regards to King Tut - Air Soul” (American again)
