Convoy is a 1978 American road action comedy film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Ernest Borgnine, Burt Young, Madge Sinclair and Franklyn Ajaye. The film is based on the 1975 country and western novelty song "Convoy" by C. W. McCall. The film was made when the CB radio/trucking craze was at its peak in the United States, and followed the similarly themed films White Line Fever (1975) and Smokey and the Bandit (1977). The film received mixed reviews from critics; however, it was the most commercially successful film of Peckinpah's career.

You can always tell when someone is Young because sometimes a twenty-eight year old man who has obviously not engaged with any contemporary westerns will say something like “the story of what it meant to be Black in the west in the 1800s hasn’t been told,” absolutely disregarding that he is, in fact, standing on the shoulders of Common who was number 3 on the Hell on Wheels call sheet for four years; Jonelle Allen and Henry G Sanders who as Grace and Robert E on Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman explored what it meant to live, love and persevere in the face of daily--and occasionally extremely violent--racism; Rick Worthy in the criminally short-lived Magnificent Seven show; and the unique, complicated and meaty characters portrayed by Richard Grant, Cleo King, Franklyn Ajaye, and Omar Gooding in Deadwood.
Where Walker: Independence may surpass these other shows is in their writer’s rooms; it will be interesting to see who is getting to tell these stories, and how that changes things.

Franklyn Ajaye (born May 13, 1949) is a stand-up comedian and actor. His nickname is "The Jazz Comedian" for his distinctive jazz-inflected style of delivery, timing, and astute use of silence. He is known for his role as Spider Mike in Convo. He has released five comedy albums to date: Franklyn Ajaye, Comedian, I'm a Comedian, Seriously, Don't Smoke Dope, Fry Your Hair, Plaid Pants and Psychopaths, and Vagabond Jazz & the Abstract Truth. The last two were recorded in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. He made his network debut on The Flip Wilson Show and made his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson a year later. He emigrated to Melbourne but returns to the US periodically to do work on television. His last American television appearance was on Paul Provenza's The Greenroom. He is known in Australia for his appearances on The Panel and Thank God You're Here and for his popular one-man shows "Nothing But The Truth", "Talkin' Vagabond Jazz", and "Vagabond Jazz & The Abstract Truth" at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He has worked as an actor, appearing in films such as Sweet Revenge, Car Wash, Convoy, Stir Crazy, The Jazz Singer, Hysterical, Get Crazy, Fraternity Vacation, Hollywood Shuffle, The Wrong Guys, The 'Burbs, and American Yakuza. He appeared on an episode of Barney Miller. He has been seen more recently in the TV show Deadwood as Samuel Fields and reprised that role in Deadwood: The Movie. He had a small but memorable role in the box office hit Bridesmaids, and in 2013 he played management guru Marvin Hudsfield in the Australian Utopia. He has been nominated twice for Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program for In Living Color and Politically Incorrect. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CdfwkR8Lseisf5Espo7pAICXQVRE6Nh_JwO0pc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Convoy ist einer der wenigen Autospektakel-Filme, die wir vergleichsweise gerne mögen, weil es letztlich wieder die Geschichte von den ungerechten Wegzöllen, die den Cowboys bei Treiben der Herde nach Laramie auferlegt werden ist, nur mit größeren Beförderungsmitteln.
