The plot

I filled in as much as I could remember about the plot. If there's anything I missed, please feel free to add it, or I might if I come across the movie on TV and I remember to add to the article.

"Rubber Duck"

Is there more to the name "Rubber Duck"? There might be, as I found out that Akron, OH is sometimes called 'The Rubber' amongst truck drivers! -andy 80.129.112.52 11:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Akron is "Rubber City" due to it's high production of Rubber products, and tires. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.198.138.234 (talk) 00:54, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cult status

Isen't this movie somewhat of a cult movie?--85.167.155.213 19:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I bought a Scandinavian budget release on DVD, and in the presentation of Sam Peckinpah on the extres, the film is actually described as a low point in Peckinpah's career. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 17:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua Duncan Sloan

Not sure where to add this, but the '11 long haired friends of Jesus' are lead by a Rev Joshua Duncan Sloan.. Who shows up in at least one other Peckinpah film, the Ballad of Cable Hogue. Kweston (talk) 21:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed for the "Some background" section

The whole section lacks any verifiable citation or quotable source. Material in Wikipedia is all about quotable AND verifiable contributions. Original researchs, creative freedom or personal gut feelings are unacceptable in Wikipedia, so the whole section either be properly quoted or completely removed.Flurry (talk) 19:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. If it doesn't have a reference soon then it should be removed. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 19:39, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Producer???

From Michael Deeley's wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Deeley to the BBC documentary "Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron", Michael Deeley is credited, whether he likes it or not, as the producer of Convoy. What gives???User:JCHeverly 14:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cold county Sheriff

From the Plot section: "The "trucker" turns out to be cold county Sheriff "Dirty Lyle" Wallace ...". What's that supposed to mean? Is a "cold county Sheriff" a particular rank or status of sheriff? (It doesn't show up anywhere else.) Is he a "cold", heartless, cynical, individual (in which case the sentence needs rewording)? Is he the sheriff of Cold County (in which case it needs to be capitalised)? Is it a typo? Or does it mean something else entirely? I've got no idea. Can somebody please fix.

Current #10 about the trucks I tried - incomprehensible, check someone. I have page of boxes instead of text, no actual pictures or anything. Sold out? Lincoln J. (talk) 08:45, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
