A classic in every sense.
If you like your industrial films good and gory, like we all do, you'll be sure to enjoy this classic of Caterpillar (and we don't mean the insect) mishaps. Hands are crushed, bodies thrown, arms are burent, vehicles are smashed in every way possible, and while that is happening, The song, yes that song reverberates in and out. I can almost bet that sounds like Stompin' Tom Connors. While some people would be revolted by this kind of thing, call me sick, but I was laughing my butt off!
