Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

But now it's not so hot. Like a lot of bad movies, "Killdozer" starts kind of fun. But pretty soon it drifts off into kind of dumb. It does have a solid cast. Across the board they were all solid. It's been 44 years I saw it last. The movie must have changed.

During the course of the "ABC Movie of the Week" the series brought us alien impregnation ("The Stranger Within"), Witches reincarnated from the colonial period ("Crowhaven Farm"), Monsters living in the chimney ("Don't Be Afraid of the Dark") and Hauntings ("The House That Would Not Die")...among other weird topics. Sure, many of the films were more mundane...but the network has got to be commended for approving pretty much any strange idea the writers came up with during the course of the series! And, I would have to say that the strangest and silliest plot they ever came up with was in "Killdozer". And, when I describe the film to you, you might think I am making the whole thing up or I've suffered a psychotic episode!When the film begins, a meteorite lands on an island off the African coast. Some American workers are there building something and when their bulldozer hits this meteorite it begins to glow and somehow possesses this piece of equipment! Later, this bulldozer with a mind of its own begins killing and it's a contest between men and possessed machinery!! While the idea of this film is totally stupid, before you laugh remember that Stephen King made a fortune with his book "Christine" as well as the movie rights!!The film happens to have a pretty decent cast, so I can only assume that the network was holding the actors' families hostage to get them to make the film. Carl Betz, Clint Walker, Neville Brand and Robert Urich are there to become, or possibly become, bulldozer chow! As for the film itself...it's exactly what you expect...and that really isn't a good thing. Dumb, silly and a bit boring because how can you stretch all this out to full-length?!

Although I rated it rather low, I still actually liked the movie. A runaway Cat possessed by a rock from the sky. Nice plot line, eh? I was a heavy equipment mechanic for many years and know pretty much everything about bulldozers and how they operate. A diesel engine requires fuel and compression to run. While this dozer is running around killing people I always wondered why nobody just shot the fuel injection pump. It would literally stop in it's "tracks". "Shoot the injectors. It's helpless with out them!" (a take-off of a line by Professor Medford in the movie "THEM!") Maybe being possessed by the evil spirit of a rock from space, it didn't require fuel. I don't know. Still a good movie if you have nothing better to do...like stick your face in a fan. If I was channel-surfing and came across it, I would watch it again, though That's how sick I am..

Killdozer (1974) 2 of 5 Dir: Jerry London Stars: Clint Walker, Carl Betz, Neville Brand A group of construction workers are building an airstrip on a remote island. While clearing earth they discover a meteor that when disturbed omits a bright blue light and then possesses the massive bulldozer they use into 'Killdozer'. No where to run or hide the workers get picked off one by one until they formulate their final stand.'Killdozer' is an entertaining made-for-TV movie. Not too well done and a bit simple but once you get over its age you'll find yourself having a decent time.
