Movie Reviews of Convoy Uncut Widescreen Edition
Movie Review: Best Version of Convoy on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Much better than the other CRAP versions, picture was the correct aspect ratio (everyone's not stretched too skinny)and it includes the stuff that was cut out of the others, like where they are interviewing the truckers in the convoy.. in the other ones some of them are edited out.. and the guy mooning the reporter is cut out.. but in this one it's all there and
The sound was good but it's Dolby Digital Mono.. so it's not a Stereo soundtrack... I looked it up on IMDB and it says it right there in the filming specs that the movie was shot in Mono.. so there can never be a true Stereo track for it.. that was kind of a bummer.. because it makes it seem a little low and had to turn it up a bit more than normal.. but at least it was Dolby Digital Mono so they cleaned it up some.
The packaging was OK, it's a cheaply made product but still I was thrilled to finally be rid of my old video tape I got back in '85, This one was the Kinowelt/Truckerflicks DVD... I had bought the Cheezyflicks one a few years ago and it was just plain terrible.. it would lock up and freeze and the picture quality when it did play was terrible.. Rubber Duck was so stretched out from the wrong aspect ratio he looked about 7ft tall... THANKS AMAZON, or.. Kinowelt... or Truckerflicks.. or whoever for finally doing this justice!!!
