Here’s a film from the eighties. Set in New York and young man has to travel across the city to deliver or do something. A sort of Friday night, Saturday morning sort of thing. Black comedy, lots of adventures, typical of eighties, gangs, girls, clubs, pimps etc. Channel 4 probably.

Heres two

1: Two blokes in 2 separate lorries I think are transporting nitro-glycerine or something very explosive and volatile across really rough roads and bridges in a jungley type environment.

2: A plane full of blind passengers crash lands killing pilot and all sighted crew. Blind people have to somehow find their way out of a desert(i think a desert)

The Wages of Fear?
Or the remake: Sorcerer (with Roy Scheider)?

I seem to remember watching this years ago.

I've been thinking about a film I saw in the late 80's / early 90's on the TV, possibly channel 4.

The scene I remember is a car on an empty road - it beeps its horn and then falls down an old mineshaft that opens up underneath it. The whole scene is shot in a kind of sepia colour scheme, and there may have been a constant hum of industrial noise in the background.

I've a feeling it may be Eraserhead, but frankly I've no intention of watching that again just to find out :-).

Wages of Fear and Seven in darkness I think sound correct. I would have seen the wages of fear one before 1977 I think so couldnt have been sorceror.

cheers all.

I'm glad I found this sticky thread because I was about to start my own.

Apologies but this really isn't a lot to go on. I'm about 95% convinced it was a film but it could have been a TV series. It feels like it could have been late 80s / early 90s based on how long I've been quoting it and to whom. I can only remember this one speech and I think I have it fairly accurate. It goes "You know who's responsible for this, don't you? You KNOW who's responsible for this, don't you? You. That's who. You. Nobody else. You. You."

In my head it's said in an Italian/American accent - think Robert DeNiro or similar. There's real emphasis on the word "responsible". Variations on the line could well have been used more than once throughout the show. It could have been during a car journey. It's not Seinfeld.

Does anyone have any idea before I drive myself to petty crime?

Long way back but i can remember watching Film '74 and there was a clip of a film ( American) of two large 60s type cars trying to drive into each other. One had a steel girder sticking out the front which he rammed through the other cars drivers door. IIRC they were driving in a sort of paddock next to one of those big American barns.
The obvious answer might be Death Race 2000 but i've seen that and the scene i saw isn't in it plus the clip i watched wasn't set in 2000.

Not a film but does anyone remember the biker chick who zipped up her leathers over her bare cleavage which made you feel awkward as a kid if you sat next to your mum in the cinema.

Is it on YT? For nostalgia purposes obviously!

Sorry, forgot to add that it was something shown during the cinema trailers in the late 80s-early 90s.

OK, here's one that's bugged me for decades: a western I watched with my stepdad in the 80's. The only scene I can remember involved someone tying somebody else to a wagon wheel, above a fire/hot coals, and slowly turning the wheel. Later the film cut back to these 2, and chappy on the wheel was cooked. Blackened and charred.. But still alive, and begging for his life!

Can anyone help identify this film?

Edited to add: I should have scrolled down as somebody answered it with Duel At Diablo.
