Damn, Almost no one has seen this movie!


Has anyone even seen this movie before? there is only 28 votes, that is sad, I feel sorry for this movie. It is such a good movie. I mean, where else can you see a well eqquiped Kenworth truck smashing into cars and bad guys, for me thats awsome. (I really love semi trucks, old ones that are made out of Metal, and not fiberglass)

Hey, I just rented this puppy, and I gotta say I fell in love. Bowd Beal is an intense, phenomenal actor. I give this puppy a 9.5/10. It was awesome, but not Double Impact awesome.

I am proud to say I saw this movie, and used to watch it all the time with my brother while eating IGA pizzas. Those were some good pizzas, man.

One of my favorite 1980's guilty pleasures, I just reviewed it on my blog, "The Horn Section" www.hornsection.blogspot.com (May 2006 archives)

20 years ago today, I saw it in the theatre! Lots of fun. I never could get the camoflauged VW beetles out of my head, and to this day my friends and I still occasionally say "Space age plastic, son!" out of the blue for no reason at all. :)

I remember my dad rented this when I was younger and I loved it! But I could never remember the name of it..I googled "trucker movies V-12" hehe and I found it. I'd like to get it on dvd, but isn't available

I've seen this movie and think it's a great deal of enjoyably silly car chase action fun. I especially dug the outrageously garish camouflauge-painted Volkswagons equipped with rocket launchers.

This was a solid film. It's one of those action films they don't make anymore. My favorite Jill Whitlow has a supporting part and I first watched it because of her. I have grown to really enjoy Forrest Tucker and he was great in this film. I think I will try to find it tonight and watch it. I have it on VHS somewhere in my room.
