Macks On The Big And Little Screen


Andy Wright

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I know this is a subject that has been run over several times over the years but I thought I might start it up again to see if anyone can remember new stuff or if new members have anything to add.

Basically, if you have seen a Mack featured in a movie or TV, no matter how insignificantly, list it here.

Convoy - obviously

Rocky - opening scenes of Stallone running has a B model backing out of picture in the background

Cars - "Mack", Lightning McQueen's Superlliner transporter

Episode of Cold Case features an L model fire truck - vague I know

The Motorcycle Diaries - L model fire truck in one of the village scenes

Bad Boys II - Mack car transporter stolen by bad guys and used in freeway car chase

Mad Max II

Paperback Hero - Hugh Jackman driving a road train

Before Night Falls - footage of L models during the Cuban revolution

Hoffa - haven't seen it but an old Wheels of Time had a feature on ACs being used in it

That's about me tapped out!

Cheers

Andy

Andy, Here's some :

Concrete Cowboys - Jerry Reed & Tom Selick in a B-61 wrecker

Moonfire - Chuck Napier and two beautiful Mack Westerns

Beverley(sp) Hills Cop- Mack mixer

One of the "Die Hard" 's ?? - Bruce Willis in a B-80's dump truck

Title-??? The bad ass martial dude with black ponytail(can't think of his name right now) plays a government agent and they run a nice DM off the side of a mountain

Thats all I can think of now.

GoodFellas. with DeNiro has a B-61 in it, I think it might even have had another B in another scene but it has been awhile since I have seen the movie.

Also there was a B open cab pumper in the Tom Selik movie Folk's

I just found an awesome site that has a ton of Macks in the movies! (Complete with photos!) Check it out...

Mack in the Movies

That's a cool site Barry. Had forgotten that I spotted a B being used by the Germans last time I saw The Battle of Britian. Had a bit of a chuckle to myself about it!

Cheers

Hey Barry ,

Cool link. Check out the picture on the first page 3rd line 2nd in. B61 in police Acadamy. Something is a little different about the wipers.

My Grandpa's  B61 was the same way with top mount wipers 20220531_184105.thumb.jpg.8e1c4229f91df08572231db2f1cd74e6.jpg
