I know you probably get this a lot, but I recently saw a movie, there was a lot of killing in it, guys in a red pick up truck were after someone, they found him in a warehouse, and ran over his head to a John Denver song. I hope someone knows ---

The only “killing to John Denver song” movie that comes to mind is “Free Fire”. Dark comedy about a gun deal that goes awry. Funny and violent at the same time. ---

Its probably one of these films, but I don’t know which one. > **[John Denver - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000135/)** > > John Denver. Soundtrack: Armageddon. His birth occurred on Friday, December 31st, 1943, as the son of an Air Force officer, Denver was constantly moved from state to state and country to country. It was in Tucson, Arizona, that his grandmother gave... ---

Never heard of the movie, but from what I see, that sounds like it. There’s a warehouse and a red van, judging by the stills I see (not a pickup, but close enough). ---

_Free Fire_, a British movie from 2016. I’m spoilering the link because, well, it features a guy getting his head run over. [Annie's Song - John Denver (Free Fire, 2016) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tfM1j4H7E) ETA: I see **cormac262** already ID’d it. This is definitely it, unless there’s a different movie with a red pickup instead of a red van. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > ETA: I see **cormac262** already ID’d it. This is definitely it, unless there’s a different movie with a red pickup instead of a red van. It would be awesome if there were a totally different movie where some guy got his head ran over by a red car while in a warehouse and a John Denver song was playing. “No, the movie I’m thinking of had a chevy. That was a ford”. ---
