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

2. One Of The Trucks Was Horribly Damaged
You would never guess it from watching the movie, but one of the main vehicles used in the film was horribly damaged at one point. What made the whole thing even worse is the fact that it was the main type of vehicle used in the film…a Mack truck.
The Mack truck was The Duck’s vehicle in the film, so it arguably had as much of a starring role as Kristofferson. So imagine how horrifying it must have been for the cast and crew when the Mack truck they were using for broke down shortly before a scene!
IMDb describes what happened, saying that the Mack truck was so badly damaged that it eventually stopped working. They were due to film a shootout scene on a bridge just moments later, so everyone had to get a bit creative. They ended up bringing in a bulldozer to push the truck across the bridge so they could finish the scene.
They clearly did a good job at getting everything back in order, since we never would have guessed that the truck was broken in that scene!
