A movie was made in the 1980's

The local MV club , the VMVC, provided the vehicles for the movie. My Jeep was going to be the main Jeep used by James Coburn but I had to pull out at the last minute.
Unfortunately the movie production was beset with many problems and it turned out to be a horrible movie, a pity as it could have been a classic thriller instead of being a dud.
