Killdozer was a now-cult made for TV movie from the 1970's. Veteran actors play veteran construction crew clearing terrain for an oil company, 200 miles off coast of Africa, that come under attack by one of their own bulldozers.Actually, the bulldozer (the mighty D-9'er) has been contaminated by some kind of malevolent meteorite radiation, and perhaps its mind, located in its shovel evidently, has turned murderously psychotic. This after striking a rock with early Robert Urich (Mac) at the controls--who succumbs early from a the effects of a massive 'bangeroo' headache from the encounter. Or maybe, more spectacularly, it is being remotely controlled by extraterrestial forces as Dutch speculates. It's more likely that it is being controlled by Hollywood and its conventions since it starts its murder spree by knocking off Beltrane, the only black guy in the cast. You won't know until the end! Movies today try to look real, but movies like this, and its later (man vs machine) cousins, The Car and the classic Duel, share that 70's trademark of hardnosed grittiness and dedicated character studies, that make them at least FEEL real!Killdozer TV movie 1974 bulldozer Clint Walker Bob Urich

Oct 18, 2008 - Thanks for this information. I wonder if the story matches up with the movie interpretation, or is different.

Oct 27, 2008 - Good question! I saw this movie as a VHS at a trash/cult video store that still had old videos in stock. The store was called Suspect Video in Toronto, and they likely still have a copy, for RENT only. I think it was a 'grey' market type of item. They had 2 stores but one of them burned down in Feb of this year. I can't remember which of the stores it was I saw it at.

Dec 6, 2008 - Great Video. Quick Question. Can someone behind the controlls of a Bulldozer really move its plow side to side when the plow is on top something like Killdozer did?
