Trucker Movie Night




Why are there two versions of the title card for both movies:




I think this the first time I've encountered something like that and it's true for both movies. Weird. Also, why am I blogging these movies when I won't even be at BMN, for the first time ever, and I didn't pick these movies. Because it's an officially sanctioned Bad Movie Night is all.

Convoy is directed by movie legend Sam Peckinpah. After he became an almost unemployable drunk. Remember that Simpsons where Homer says, "Look, son! It's one of nature's most beautiful sights: the convoy!"



That episode was called Maximum Homerdrive, a reference to another BMN movie, Maximum Overdrive.



White Line Fever is directed by the guy who did The Accused, Project X and, most importantly, Heart Like a Wheel which I know because it's sampled in an L7 song:



White Line Fever will be our sixth movie featuring Dick Miller:



It also stars Slim Pickens and Airwolf!




Here's what happened two weeks ago:
