CB Radio was at it's peak in the mid-70's and the movie industry was not unaware of this fact, so they tried to cash in with a slew of movies like:

Convoy

Smokey and the Bandit

Smokey and the Bandit II

Breaker-Breaker

and

Citizens Band

 

Of all of the movies I've just mentioned, Citizens Band is probably the closest to what was going on in the world of CB in the U.S. at that time. Granted, not all of these "Characters" were in each town, but I'm sure some of you will say:

"Hey! That guy reminds me of......"

at one time or another.

As movies go, this one falls into the "Okay" category, and I always find parts of it amusing, but my main gripe with it is that almost every radio used and / or seen in the movie is a Radio Shack product. Historically, it would have been nice to be able to look back and see the awesome choice that most of us had to pick from back in the "olden" days.

The last time I checked, "Citizens Band" was only available forsale in the $50-$60 price range. I've scanned in some of the original movie cards (which can be found forsale from time-to-time on E-bay) for your viewing pleasure!
