Re: Movies, TV shows, and songs about trucks and trucking
The other day I forgot to mention the movie ‘Torque’ made in 2004. It may just be about motorcycles and bikers, but in the first five minutes they pay homage to ‘Duel’.
The bikers do a ‘head-on’ with both the 1971 Plymouth Valiant driven by Dennis Weaver and the 1960 Peterbilt 281 driven by Carey Loftin. In response, one of the bikers asks, “What’s that all about?”, while another biker loses control and drops his bike… skidding to a stop at the side of the road.
And then there’s always ‘Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure’. Anyone who has watched that movie should never forget Large Marge, the truck driver; her story is reminiscent of ‘Phantom 309’.
