Iconic movie from my childhood!!! We need this "trucker-spirit" again! Greets from Germany🤠

I saw this film at my local cinema way back in 1978 when i was a teenager. Me and my school friends loved it. Listening to this song brings back memories 😊

While I'm not a trucker I am on the road quite a bit. Saw a new Mack with that flat black paint and a duck as the hood ornament. Just awesome! This is one of my favorite movies. Each of my children have watched this multiple times on their own.

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

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.

[@olegdivov]

@@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 CB radio era was a blast... getting those Smokey Bear reports from the truckers while traveling to Florida in the late 70's.

[@Lionn8563]

Why are u acting like its ended?

[@clevlandblock]

@@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.

Фильм моего далёкого детства - конец 1980-х годов. Смотрел в кинотеатре "Ударник" в Минске (Белоруссия). Кинотеатр уже давно снесли. Фильм "Конвой" в родном американском прокате провалился меньше 10 миллионов зрителей, но в СССР удачно выстрелил и побил рекорд проката - 35 миллионов кинозрителей! Хотя режиссером числится Сэм Пекинпа большую часть времени съёмок он провёл в своём трейлере, употребляя алкоголь и наркотики. Фильм доснимал его друг Джеймс Коберн со второй группой режиссеров

Курили, смеялись и цитировали эпизоды. Этот фильм был бомбой. Чего только стоит связь по рации дальнобоев, которая едва ли стала всеобщей даже в 2000-х в Роисси. И фильмы которые ты перечислил были позже в прокате лет на 10. Во время "конвоя" крутились Ангар 18, Спасите конкорд, Игрушка, К сокровищам авиакатастрофы, Легенда о динозавре.

There was a lad near us who had a radio strapped to his bicycle (motorcycle battery on his rear rack) who took himself very seriously.
