NoClueJoe66 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 White Line Fever was pretty good 1 Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

Green Dash Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'd probably have to pick Convoy as my favorite with the first Smokey and the Bandit as second. I like them all simply because of the "cast" and some of the actors are pretty good too. I think I've seen them all except for Highballin'.

Superdog Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 the movie itself is pretty lame,but Moonfire has some great Mack footage,beautiful blue RS700 with a Mercury sleeper and a real nice FS700 V8 powered single axle. Smokey & the Bandit II is pretty good,too. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30162-truck-movies/#findComment-167686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Agree with all above.Moonfire was probably not translated into Russian. Will try to find it in the net.

Popular Post vision386 Posted February 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2013 Never liked convoy,guess i'm the exception to the rule,i liked the trucks in Moonfire,that RL-700 has always been one of my favorites. My Dad and i saw Smokey and the Bandit together at the movies when it came out,one of my best memories is towards the end (when Jerry Reed passes Burt Reynolds) my Dad "elbowed" me,and said "Boy,that old Cummins sure sounds good,don't it? he's gotter' wound up thats for sure!"......................................Mark 4 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Maddog13407 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 thought Bandits trucks had a 3406 Cat in it? thats why Jerry Reed wears a Cat hat? dunno, Charles Napier could drive, he did some grindin on that old quadbox in Moonfire tho haha. think he drove truck in some of the Dukes of Hazzard episodes to.
