Movie/TV challenge trucks...

[WhiteWolf McBride]

I dinna see a header for this, and it might be a good sticky-topic:

Movie & TV trucks to be built - We've seen a BJ & the Bear, and Duel, and what else?

Well, on the Duel-like front, there are two CCKW353 Deuces (or very similar) in the movie 'Sorcerer, which in turn is based on the movie 'The Wages of Fear', which I read as a book in Gr. 12 basic French course. I'm still watching the later remake (w/ Roy Scheider of Jaws infamy) and will see how the original stacks up later. The two trucks look mean though... almost Mad Max mean.

Whoops, thats another semi needs building - Max's Semi from the second movie, that hauls the 'Seven Sisters' tanker (someone makes decals for that!)

Chime in with your opinion of Movie & TV " Must-Be-Built " trucks... even if they aren't quite trucks... ( like Daisy-Etta, the Cat D8 that gets possessed in Killdozer! )

How about Goliath from Knight Rider or the Knight semi that Kitt hangs out in.

The black Happy Toys truck in MaximumOverdrive!

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Exactly!

And Snowman's semi's in Smokey & the Bandit movies?

Or that odd car-transporter in what looks like a cattle-truck in 'Gumball Rally' (for the Ferarri team)

Or the modded bus in 'The Italian Job' (original from '69) that carried the Mini's for a while...

Or wild Sci-Fi-ish, the SHADO-Mobile transporters from 'U.F.O'....

Keep it coming, guys.

I would love to have a replica cab over done up as the truck that carried Burt Reynolds Chicken Pit Special race car from Stroker Ace...it would actually be pretty easy I think, red globeliner with red box trailer and voila!!!! Clyde Torkel's Chicken Pit hauler!!!

Sorry Espeefan... shoulda scanned first.

And Sticky, of ~course~ the Happy Toys 'Green Goblin' truck from Maximum Overdrive (yes, you can call it that, King got the usage license from Marvel, check the credits!) Thats always first on my list! (think I've mentioned it a few times already in other threads.)

Will havta have a look at the Chicken-shack... dodged the movie in my movie search the other night but collected the Cannonball ones, the Bandit ones, and Gumball Rally too.

Come on guys, chip in...
