Comments by "Paul Frederick" (@1pcfred) on "How the Movie Convoy Became a Blockbuster in the Soviet Union" video.

Convoy was a blockbuster when it came out. Everyone was certainly aware of it even if maybe we didn't go see it in the theaters. But I remember it being a big deal back in the day. At the time there was a big CB radio craze going on and the movie was kind of capitalizing on that. The CB radio was the Internet before the Internet for a little while there.
