Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when Spider Mike is rescued from a town. The Rubber Duck's truck is damaged. It loses the bullbars on the front, and the windbreaker on the roof is flattened against the roof of the cab. Yet after leaving the town, in a series of shots showing the Rubber Duck's truck. The damage disappears or varies. The windbreaker appears fixed and so do the bars, but in the next shot just the windbreaker is fixed and the bars aren't. It continues like this through a montage and then in the next scene when it cuts back to a close up of the truck both are damaged again. (01:47:40)
Convoy (1978)
Directed by: Sam Peckinpah
Starring: Ernest Borgnine, Kris Kristofferson, Burt Young, Ali MacGraw
Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when Rubber Duck's truck is being shot to pieces, the gunmen take out his remaining headlamp (he lost the first running through the road block) twice.
Continuity mistake: When Pig Pen crashes his truck into the jail to get Spider Mike, the windshield of his truck is cracked (shot of Ali in the back shows the crack), but when they are heading to Mexico, his windshield is no longer cracked (when the food is thrown at his truck after the ice cream truck wreck.).
Melissa: Well I think I've had just about enough of this, thank you very much. I'll think I'll take my things and GET OUT. If you'll pull over to the side, I'm sure I can hitch a ride very easily... Weren't you listening to me? I said I'm ready to get out.
Rubber Duck: You want out? We're being chased. You want out? Jump.
Melissa: You want to add the Mann Act to your collection?
Rubber Duck: Mann Act's for 18 year olds, not someone who's seen the better side of thirty.
Melissa: Why do they call you the Duck?
Rubber Duck: Because it rhymes with "luck." See, my daddy always told me to be just like a duck. Stay smooth on the surface and paddle like the devil underneath.
Officer Bookman: My name is Bob Bookman, sir, and I hate truckers.
Question: Where was the opening filmed? It looks like somewhere with snow, but must be a desert?
