Loved the movie with all its inaccuracies, loved Dennis Weaver, the Peterbilt, and the Valiant.

I loved the movie too; especially back when it was made. I just wanted Weaver to somehow find a grenade launcher in his trunk unexpectedly and shoot it through the Big Pete's windshield. I also wanted to see the dang driver!! GREAT "Which..." choice John, THANKS!

@perrone1 LOL.....or at least the equipment to lay down a giant oil slick....or maybe equip the Valiant with revolving licence plate numbers a la Bond, so the tanker driver might think he'd come upon a different red Valiant and give it up. Personally my favorite plot twist would have been to equip the Valiant with a 007 ejector seat, but for the driver. To have Weaver ejected through the roof of the Valiant and then run over by the tanker in Wile E. Coyote fashion would have been exciting and a deserving early end to this stinker movie. Pass the popcorn please.....

Ohhhh, I LIKE the ejector seat idea; especially if the Valiant lacked a sunroof!
