For some reason I thought that was a really big log on its way to collide with the truck from the side
I can absolutely confirm this. Always joked about it until we found ourselves out in the PNW and that joke became very real very quickly.
The cultural penetration of this scene has become visible when on the highway and you see a truck carrying logs and how everyone avoids being directly behind it.
Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.
maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.
Keep your distance.
