Thanks for being the only one to post in my thread fieroloki.......

My list of things a movie has to have to make it good:
Hookers Gunfights Car chases Airplanes Firetrucks/Police cars Hookers Killer Bulldozers Hookers |

yeah, I remember that movie, I think it was a made for T.V. movie, can't remember who was in it although Darrin McGavin comes to mind. Don't know if Stephen King had anything to do with it but it was like another made for T.V. movie Spielburg did in '71 "Duel" Stephen King wrote a short story I read one time about people holed up in a truck stop being terrorized by semi's and other vehicles come to life that were trying to kill them.

I sure do remember it as I have always dug teh bulldozers. It was an awesome movie for a young teenager of the 70's (like I was). I know they had a bitch of a time killing it, if I remember right they got it to go onto some metal thing and electrocuted it.
It's cool to re-watch some of those old movies that seemed so modern and well made at the time and see how cheesy they look today. Like Red Dawn. LOLZ!! |
|
Wow, that was really scary how that bulldozer ran over those tents and knocked over those fuel drums.

have seen it a hundred times and am gonna see it a hundred more.

THE best movie ever. It was supposed to be a Si-Fi flick but I always thought of it as a comedy. You can't help but cheer everytime it killed another hapless fool. I like how the guy taunts it by breaking it's headlight, the dozer gets pissed and falls into their ambush.
|
|
Surprisingly enough, I do NOT remember this one.
Anyone remember "Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry"? |
|
I remember that one. Must have been about 9 or 10 when that aired, remember it as being pretty good. Does anyone remember who wrote the story it was based on? IIRC it was a Richard Matheson story.
|
|
Hell yeah I remember it. I have very fond memories of made-for-TV movies and series from my childhood in the 70's. Here's some more:
Duel in the Desert movie- Lloyd Bridges?? a crippled P-40 trying to outrun a Tiger Trilogy of Terror movie - that damn voodoo doll scared the piss of out me The Night Stalker Series - how about the damn headless motorcycle dude episode Gargoyles |
|
"Killdozer" starred Clint Walker. Mr Walker is a conservative, patriotic American. He appears as a guest from time to time on Mark Levin's show.
|
|
Reminds me of "trucks", I believe Stephen King had something to do with that movie.

Quoted: I remember "Killdozer" I liked "Duel" better +1. Duel was awesome. Very well-done movie. Even The Car was better than Killdozer. The Car |
|
When the guy picked up the Doughboy helmet and chucked it like trash. I wanted the dozer to get him!.
|
|
haven't seen that ball of corn since it orginally aired. Damn, I feel old.
|
|
If any of you get the chance, the original sci fi story "Killdozer" by Theodore Sturgeon was pretty darn good.
|
|
Yep, I remember it. I believe the front blade was struck directly by a meteorite
and then it "came to life". |
|
Yep, I remember Killdozer. As a kid, I loved it. Not sure what I'd think of it now.
Of course, as someone mentioned, it did have Clint Walker in it, so it can't be all bad. Other movies I remember as a kid... "Trapped" with James Brolin. Guy gets mugged and beaten unconcious in the bathroom of a department store. The store closes and now he's locked inside... with several very nasty attack dogs. "Short Walk To Daylight". Several people are trapped in the NYC subway after an earthquake. (Also starring James Brolin!) "Where Have All The People Gone?" Solar flares wipe out all human life, except for Peter Graves(!) and his family... who were in a cave or something when it happened. "The Bermuda Depths". Magic fish girl, giant turtle... good cheesy fun. "A Cold Night's Death". Two guys go to a reasearch station in the arctic where some scientist working with monkeys went nuts and killed everyone. Blah, blah, blah... turns out the monkeys are super intelligent and they killed everybody. Oh, and "Ssssss"... where Dirk Benedict gets turned into a cobra. |

I remember that movie. ABC use to do those made for TV movies of the week back then.

I thought the girl in Sssssssss was hot when I was 10. Many years later I saw Ssssssss again and my taste must have changed cause she seemed homely. |

We were at the Air & Space Museum in Dulles where they have a P-40 hanging from the ceiling that caught his eye. It reminded me of that movie, so I tell him about it. He couldn't decide whether the movie was , or I was . |

What about: "Man From Atlantis"..... Anyone remember that one.. The one with TV's Patrick Duffy???? That was very early in his career. He auditioned for the part in briefs...he couldn't even afford a pair of swimming trunks at the time and he didn't have a pair...so he just took off his pants and shirt!!!! |

Couldn't you just outrun it? IIRC, it was on about a 5-10 acre island with a small hill in the middle. Typical movie sceneario: nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.................................................................. |
