I saw the movie too and distinctly remember the logs rolling off the left side right where all those cars are to repeat that scene. I just stay far enough behind them to be able to break safely.
Holy shit I know right where this photo was taken! Corvallis oregon, just about to enter town from I-5. Two massive left turn lanes that get filled up during football games. Even went to Google maps street view to verify
Watched it , and misunderstood the point.
We don’t even avoid driving behind logging trucks on the very road that scene was filmed.
This lesser known movie came out 43 years ago
Just watch the first two scenes haha.
(Then watch the rest of the movie because Susan Tyrrell rules)
Then watch the rest of the movie
Co-sign, it was very good.

Forbidden Zone is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Richard Elfman put out a computer colorized version a few years ago- but he made it look like a 1930s Technicolor movie in terms of the color scheme, so it’s one of the only colorized movies I’ve ever seen that actually improved upon the original. He also put out an even newer edition where he digitally replaced the head of the blackface guy at the beginning with a clown. I haven’t seen that version. If he just updated the head and not the voice, though, why bother?
