This is a Peckinpah I haven't seen. Just caught up with "Cross of Iron" and "Junior Bonner" this year. I'll have to give "Convoy" a proper look. My missus enjoyed "The Killer Elite" - not sure if I can her appreciation quite this far...
Have super fond memories with Convoy Graham. As a kid it was my younger brother’s absolute favourite movie. He wore out his VHS. Hugely derided by critics when it came out as Sam Pekinpah doing a Smokey and The Bandit ripoff. Me & my brother didn’t care. We used to watch it on repeat along with Slapshot & Young Frankenstein (Two titles crying out for a 4K release!) I was pleasantly surprised watching it again. Curious how the Imprint transfer is? My brother bought me the Studio Canal 4K Steebook & it looked great. I guess they are from the same transfer.
As a Peckinpah completist ill be grabbing this when the price goes down. The Imprint box sets are a must own for any Peckinpah die hards. Graham did you get the Criterion set of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett?
Cool review Graham. Another one for the watch list 😉
Great film. One of my earliest VHS rental memories.
The first VHS I ever remember renting

No I never picked that one up. But then I usually wait for the criterion sales when I can.
