Heißer Asphalt (1978)
25KHeißer Asphalt: Directed by Peter Carter. With Peter Fonda, Jerry Reed, Helen Shaver, Chris Wiggins. Two truck drivers fight off thugs who have been hired to drive them out of business.
“Not much to see here. A couple guys swashbuckling with big Ken-Tool tire irons. At least this is a movie that accepts the existence of snow. Jerry Reed plays u0026quot;the Iron Duke,u0026quot; a trucker who wants to make a few more runs and then stay at home. Peter Fonda perhaps should have played a trucker and not brought the biker element into this movie. After the chase with the racecar-laden auto transporter there isnu0026#39;t much to see. One memorable scene is Dukeu0026#39;s poignant attempt to defend himself with nothing but a tire knocker. If you like trucker movies, itu0026#39;s your duty to watch High-Ballinu0026#39; at least once, though. Isnu0026#39;t driving a truck in Canada exciting enough without a typical far-fetched plot? I guess the ultimate truck driving movie would have no plot at all and would be just one big roadeo.”
