Thunder Run

I would describe this film as being a 'Road' film, because that is basically what it is. It has all the usual moments but is not overridden with action at all, in fact it has a bit of a story behind it aswell, which is suprising. This film is very Mad Max like in the truck scenes. I enjoyed this film, but it is the kind of thing that you could only watch a few times before you went mad!!!!!!!!

Bullhead City, Arizona. It was great to see Hollywood coming to town. I'll admit this movie is bad but some of the people I went to high school with are in it. Dennis Deal, the General, was our high school basketball coach. The bar scene, where the two guys get in an argument over a girl (isn't that always the case?), those guys are brothers and the bartender that breaks it up is their father. Funny, eh? Anyway, I said it's bad and it is but I get a big kick out of watching it. I can point out all the places they go in the movie. The final destination is really Davis Dam on the Colorado River. Anyway, watch this movie, laugh at how bad it is and, if you're from the 'Head, it'll mean that much more to you.

I'm not a trucker or a hotrodder... but I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s, and this film really takes me back.

Lasers were such a futuristic sci-fi weapon, and I remember our uncertainty if the government didn't really have lasers developed into the weapons of Star Wars and such. We, also, had a great fascination with super vehicles that, by today's standards, were low-tech, but beefed up to perform beyond anything you could buy off the lot... KITT, Streethawk, Automan, Air Wolf, and the like certainly made for good film back in the day.

The acting was good, but the script was cheesy, and I think that adds to the film's charm. There were some plot points that raise questions, but not enough to detract from enjoyment of watching the movie... as long as you take the era in which this movie was filmed into account.

This must be one of the most enjoyable B-action movies I have seen. I first saw it in 1986 when it was new on video in Sweden and I have never manage to forget it - even if that was 13 years and a lot of other movies ago. The plot is easy - just 100% action all the time with as little focusing on the actors as possible. The movie is about a truck-driver who has agreed to transport plutonium to some outback testing ground, and there are many badguys who want to get their hands on that plutonium. To aid him in the transport he has a very well equipped truck and a lot of fuel. The actors do perform an okay job and the movie really isn't any worse than the other more costly productions. So I must say that watching it is one and a half hour acceptably well spent.
