Andy Wright Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Okay, so I know this is a subject that has been run over several times over the years but I thought I might start it up again to see if anyone can remember new stuff or if new members have anything to add.Basically, if you have seen a Mack featured in a movie or TV, no matter how insignificantly, list it here.Convoy - obviouslyRocky - opening scenes of Stallone running has a B model backing out of picture in the backgroundCars - "Mack", Lightning McQueen's Superlliner transporterEpisode of Cold Case features an L model fire truck - vague I knowThe Motorcycle Diaries - L model fire truck in one of the village scenesBad Boys II - Mack car transporter stolen by bad guys and used in freeway car chaseMad Max IIPaperback Hero - Hugh Jackman driving a road trainBefore Night Falls - footage of L models during the Cuban revolutionHoffa - haven't seen it but an old Wheels of Time had a feature on ACs being used in itThat's about me tapped out!CheersAndy Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

67RModel Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Super old thread but 2019 film "The Irishman" had a nice B model freight truck in it. Robert De Niro drives it to deliver a load of weapons to E. Howard Hunt for the Bay of Pigs invasion.
