Warning: Spoilers
I am a pretty big Charles Napier fan and definitely a big fan of trucking movies, but somehow I'd never heard of this gem.

I am not sure of my count per se, but I have been and IMDb member for almost 20 years, and I have seen a lot of movies over those years, perhaps a thousand or so in total, and this one ranks as one of best (yet most bizarre) movie experiences I have ever had.

**spoilers**

I think above all Sonny Liston seriously tripped me out; especially the scene when he fights the bikers who show up for no reason and seem to sit around wondering why they are on camera.

Charles Napier killing the guy in self-defence with a fork lift tripped me out.

Just the sight of the pilot-guy with the blue tinted glasses tripped me out.

The Mexicans playing guitar and dancing like maniacs tripped me out.

The weird guys who were the billionaire's assistants (the ones wearing wigs and outrageous 70's outfits) tripped me out.

Oh yeah and what about the guy shooting the sprinkler and his bizarre ensuing death... Wow that totally tripped me out.

For some reason the whole damn thing just tripped me out completely...

For the record: I wasn't on drugs when I watched it, but I get the feeling that whoever made this thing was on so much drugs at the time that it was in production that I was tripped out by osmoses 45 years later.

Absolutely bizarre! Absolutely loved it!!
