Jamaican Bulldog Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Like many on here I enjoy movies that feature trucks such as Convoy, Black Dog etc. However my favorite has always been Maximum Overdrive where a machines came alive and some old trucks kept people hostage at a gas station. Where there any other truck movies that featured so many old Macks? Of all the remakes of movies nowadays and since technology is such a big part of our lives I always figured a remake a movie about our modern personal machines taking over would be cool.. including trucks.

I watched it the other night...lots of video of an RL700 and FL700...it was cool watching them and the great scenery (filmed in the southwest and Mexico). Several shots of the driver shifting the duplex.

It is a superliner. Also check out the German TV movie 'Fleisch' released in English as 'Spare Parts'. One of the main characters drives a great looking RS700L. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52128-the-movie-maximum-overdrive-and-old-macks/#findComment-403696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
