BLACK DOG-THE MOVIE Pick apart
There's only 2 things worse than knowing very little about something.
1-Knowing very little about something- and then making a movie about it. 2- Knowing too much about something--and watching a movie about it. For this thread, all you need is to have seen this movie, and (a) be about to enter the trucking industry, or (b) have seen this movie and managed to set still through the entire thing and now willing to "pick it apart". Please if (a) make your comments-- then come back in 6months and lets review it again with a laugh. If B- let the disection begin. __________________________________________________ _____ I'll start real basic: Sometimes He's clearly pulling a Intermodel Container( mostly daytime scenes) Then for the pretty evening musical interlude scenes( which was nice-by the way) Chicken lights---lots of chicken lights-- Haven't seen many containers with chicken lights all along the top--have YOU?

It's a movie, not a documentary. :lol:
Movies are supposed to be entertaining, not necessarily accurate. That said, you think the guys responsible for the continuity of the scenes would have used the same type of trailer. Black Dog never struck me as being too particularly "fancy", so maybe the producer couldn't find, or afford, a good continuity crew. <shrug>

Besides hating Patric Swayze it wasn't a bad movie , But it was funny to see a guy loaded to almost 80k lbs drive up a mountain grade with speed ,and then push another truck up the grade with it's brakes locked...All with just the nose of the truck...oh and then the old fart that couldn't manage to bring a bobtail truck to slow down ... :wink:

Well Big Jeep, it wasn't a bobtail to begin with. Swayze knocked the guys trailer off by getting it jacked sideways on him and then giving it a nice little pop with the nose to jar it loose from the fifth wheel.
How about, jamming on the brakes and making the redneck guys plow into the back of them? The back of the trailer is covered in black to finish the scene but for the rest of the movie it was clean. Musta visited a Streakin Beacon real fast. That all said, it was still a neat little movie prolly on a shoestring budget.

What I hate about the movie Black Dog......
Is when people start multiple threads about it for no reason. :wink:

It needed Sylvester Stallone.
Explosions and lots more sweat and violence...villages burning. We could probably have plucked a few right off this very board and turned Black Dog into a box office smash! :shock:
