Reader Reviews I picked up a copy of "Convoy" from the bargain bin at my local Wal-Mart the other day and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality from CheezyFlicks. I've never heard of CheezyFlicks so I wasn't sure what to expect from a low budget video company. This review is for the Feb 19/08 DVD release of "Convoy" from CheezyFlicks. After viewing "Convoy" I can say that there is nothing wrong with the video and sound quality from CheezyFlicks. Either the original print was in really good shape or CheezyFlicks spent some money on cleaning it up for their 2008 DVD release. Filmed one year after "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Breaker- Breaker" the film stars Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Burt Young and Ernest Borgnine. Kris Kristofferson really shines as trucker "Rubber Duck" and Ernest Borgnine is at his very best as the mean and very corrupt cop appropriately nicknamed "Dirty Lyle". While Burt Young gives a good performance as Pig Pen / Love Machine the same can't be said for Ali MacGraw. Her character Melissa doesn't really add anything to the movie and her performance is average at best. Based on the song "Convoy" by C.W. McCall and directed by the legendary Sam Peckinpah this 1978 Drive-In classic still manages to entertain thirty years later. The disc packaging has professional look to it and CheezyFlicks should be commended on the job they did releasing "Convoy" on DVD. The film is Region 1 coded and is presented in Letterbox format and it runs approximately 106 minutes. It also states on the front cover that this version of "Convoy" is a Special Edition and the film has been Digitally Remastered. If you're a fan of trucker movies you won't be disappointed with this one. Unless one of the Major Studios re-releases "Convoy" on DVD this is probably the best it's ever going to look and sound. That's a big `10-4' good buddy over and out! DVD Features: Play Movie Browse Scenes Intermission Director / Cast Bios *Sam Peckinpah *Kris Kristofferson *Ernest Borgnine *Ali MacGraw
