CONVOY is Sam Peckinpah's project based on a novelty trucker song by C.W. McCall but turned into something a bit more HIGH BALLIN' teamed Jerry Reed with Peter Fonda & Helen Shaver in a modern western "with trucks instead of horses" and y'know what, it's great SMOKEY/GOOD TIME OUTLAWS is just nuts

seriously SMOKEY & THE GOOD TIME OUTLAWS, capitalizing hard as hell on the SMOKEY name, is the source of such glorious screenshots as these did I mention one of the good time outlaws is a ventriloquist and a lousy one to boot

Film cap of a extra wide shot of a hot rod pickup truck screaming directly across the middle of a two large traffic circles, kicking up all kinds of trucker dust which other cars must eat, while the caption underneath features the lyrics of the current song playing on the soundtrack: "I got a whole lot of things to sing"
FIlm cap of our two heroes, the GOOD TIME OUTLAWS (I guess) hard at work just before they get fired ("You can't fire us, we quit!") They are both shirtless but with cowboy hats for the sake of decency and dancing outside with some shovels. One of 'em is using a shovel as a partner for a jig or whatever, while the other one claps in time. They really do have good times.
Oh here is the Good Time Outlaw who is a ventriloquist doing his act with his figure, currently whispering in his ear to not forget to mention they're passing the hat around for both this performance and the upcoming one by the other Good TIme Outlaw, who sings a song about catchin' crawdads at the fishin' hole with a pretty lady and a pole, ahem ahem
Uh oh, it's the titular Smokey in gross closeup leaning into the window of our heroes' ride and ranting, as the caption reads about "Long haired hippie freaks, that's what the problem is." He then recites a whole litany of people he thinks are the problem. He's not a very tolerant man, our Smokey. Look out, boys!
