7 Facts You Might Not Have Known About The Kris Kristofferson Film ‘Convoy’

1. One Famous Scene Took Ten Days To Shoot

When filming a movie, it isn’t at all unusual for one scene to take multiple days to film. But one of Convoy’s most recognizable scenes took more than just a few days to shoot…it took ten!

That scene was the famous diner brawl, which takes place after Sheriff Wallace insults a truck driver named Spider Mike. As you would expect, Mike doesn’t take the insult well, and he turns around and punches Sheriff Wallace in response.

A full-on brawl breaks out after that, with some deputies jumping in to help Wallace while Mike’s fellow truckers pitch in to help on his side. The truckers end up winning, and The Duck handcuffs Sheriff Wallace to a barstool at the end of it all.

Although the scene was certainly intense, we still have a hard time believing it took ten days to shoot! That’s a long time for one scene!
