1977- American International
Directed By Don Hulette
SYNOPSIS
An innocent novice truck driver (Michael Augenstein) is caught by police in a corrupt isolationist California town. His brother (Chuck Norris,) a popular trucker, comes looking for him.
MY THOUGHTS
One of those movies you'll enjoy more when you shut your brain off.
There's not much to Breaker Breaker. It's clearly a cash-in by American International Pictures (who knew how to cash in on anything) on the briefly popular CB Radio craze (the Twitter of the mid-70's.)
CB's figure into the mix of this standard revenge-style plot full of ass-kicking.
The fight scenes, choreographed by Chuck Norris, are simple but deliver. They are the highlight here, and Chuck Norris delivers the kicks and punches well.
The rest seems to be a second-rate impostor of Smokey & The Bandit mixed with C.W. McCall's classic CB song Convoy.
We're never given an explanation for the corrupt judge and the rest of the town's need for isolation (except to hide their moonshine operation) but that would probably just get in the way of the 'story.'
Fans of Chuck Norris should delight in this tale from early in his career... or any fans of low-budget bare-bones action films.
