Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBilly Carter plays a Deputy Sheriff. His brother Jimmy was the President of the United States when this movie was filmed.
- GoofsSince when does a vehicle repossessing agent have the legal authority to use lethal force; in this case carrying a high-powered rifle in his car and, incredibly, firing it at the truck (!) as well as taking it upon himself to engage a third-party who utilized heavy excavating equipment to dangerously block the road on which two women are riding in the tractor-trailer that the repossessing agent is attempting to stop by any means necessary. It is highly doubtful that even a bounty hunter would have acted so recklessly, never mind that the two women were not even wanted for a serious crime.
The actual owner-operator of the Mack truck and trailer was in the hospital and clearly he was the person to whom the repossessing agent should have been approaching in the first place and not chasing down and harassing the owner-operator's wife.
Furthermore, why didn't the repossessing agent simply inform the highway patrol to assist in tracking down the truck? They could have broadcast an APB and set up roadblocks for that purpose.
Featured review
Women Truckers are very common during the 70's. Learning about the open road for the first time. For me, I don't care about who is driving the big rigs. It's America, right? For Flatbed Annie and Sweetie Pie, the open road is a dream come true.
Flatbed Annie(Annie Potts) is a seasoned veteran truck driver who takes Sweetie Pie(Tracy Darby) under her wing when her husband is shot during a attempted hijacking. Unknown to anyone, even the truck reposessor(Harry Dean Stanton), there's coccaine in the cab. So the two lady Truckers go out to California to get the truck. They succeeded, but have to take care of the characters that are after the truck. For different reasons.
The real star of the movie is the Mack Superliner. A more updated conventional rig. Since CONVOY have the 1966 R-600 series. The blaring horns are all the same to me!
4.5 out of 5.
