  • My suggestion for a tombstone movie night:
    Jerry Reed plays the "Iron Duke", an independent trucker who stands up to the local trucker boss, King Carroll, who tries to drive independent truckers out of business through intimidation tactics by a gang led by his partner Harvey. Duke's friend Rane, played by Peter Fonda, comes to visit his friend and ends up helping him. Rane and Pickup suggest hauling a load of illegal liquor to a lumber camp, in order to become secure enough to resist King and Harvey's pressure, and thus inspiring other independents to resist as well.
    Duke is shot, and Rane organizes the other truckers to confront King and Harvey. Pickup is kidnapped by Harvey. Back at King’s headquarters, Harvey knocks Pickup unconscious, shooting King when he protests. As the truckers arrive and fight King’s men, Harvey puts Pickup in his car and drives away. Rane sees Harvey and gives chase. When Harvey stops, he and Rane confront each other in a fight. Both men draw their weapons and Rane shoots Harvey, then embraces Pickup. At the end of the film, Rane drives away in Pickup’s truck.
    The movie was described as "a modern day western, with trucks instead of horses."[1] Another observer said it could be summarized as "Pow, crash, screw, fight, collide, punch, slam, crash, screw."[2]
    While set ostensibly in the United States, the CN Tower appears in the background during the film's climax, and all vehicles carry Ontario plates.[3]

    Back in the good old days of "Taxploitation" flicks, where the Canadian government basically paid Americans to shoot movies there

    Somehow, every truck movie or TV show gave trucks something on the dash to drop the trailer. Hint: There is nothing that does that.
