KILLDOZER, DVD
DVD, 1974 CLINT WALKER
Armed with a stellar cast of (ahem) men. Clint Walker (NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY SNOWBEAST). Neville Brand (EATEN ALIVE), Bob Urich (SPENCER FOR HIRE). Carl Betz (THE DONNA REED SHOW) and at least 2 more, as well as, a dog eared copy of Theodore Sturgeon’s (LAND OF THE LOST, STAR TREK) short story about machines that become “possessed” by an electromagnetic occurrence of alien origin turn of their operators, KILLDOZER WAS BORN! Well, the made of TV movie was going into production. With a subplot of alcoholism an antiwar sentiment, this groundbreaking indictment of technology and the dangers of heavy machinery featured high-tech special effects and mechanical mayhem that still has not been rivaled, just as Stan Lee, Marvel comics even capitalized on the super hit much KILLDOZER became and the comic will now set the collector back some $3.75 or so, if you can find it.
I don’t want to indulge you with too much plot because there isn’t much to go around, but it goes a little like this. A bluish, glowing meteorite lands on a isolated island somewhere on a plastic globe suspended on fishing line. It is no coincidence that WARCO (do I have to explain the obvious implication here) has a crew of rugged, hardworking men clearing the land for an oil refinery on this abandoned air strip from WWII. You see, in 1974 when KILLDOZER was produced for television, oil was quite a topic for discussion, gas prices soared upwards of 70 cents a gallon and it was “OPEC this” and “CRUDE OIL that” Americans were looking for ways to tap into any source other than them damned AAA-RAABS for our guzzaline. Lloyd Kelly) Clint Walker) was there to get this job done and bring it in under cost for WARCO. After all, WARCO was giving Lloyd an opportunity, what with his “problem” and all with the sauce. Unfortunately, not all of Lloyd’s men shared his enthusiasm for hard work and it usually took a rousting to get his crew moving. Was this Jerry London’s personal take on us “lazy ‘mericans?”. Probably , lest we forge his expose’ of Anglo sexuality “Love American Style” remembered less as social commentary on our sexuality and more for the “Dorito Guy” Avery Schreiber. Excuse my digression, Lloyd gets a couple of these dipsticks back to work and it is not long before Dutch and Mack (obviously, the single syllabic names have relevance) through total incompetence, hit the meteor which has been lying dormant with their D-9 (denying, as in denying freedom, life, exploitation of the land) Bulldozer. The rock won’t move and after more incompetent bickering and grab-dicking Lloyd takes over, charging the rock until a strange blue electrical discharge runs through the D-9 (denying) blade sending Mack tumbling. Mack, played by a young Bob Urich, ultimately dies; Bob Urich later is diagnosed with cancer in his real life. Coincidence? Lloyd chalks the death off as a “freak accident” and our men continue working.
