Breaker! Breaker!

Breaker!Breaker! was Chuck Norris' first American-made movie in which he had a leading role. It was also his first movie as a good guy. This ultra-low budget flick has a clean-shaven Chuck playing a truck driver searching for his lost brother in a corrupt town run by an even more corrupt judge. While this isn't one of Chuck's best films, it is worth a watch for diehard Norris fans. I have to admit I love watching Chuck beat up bad guys and this movie delivers the goods. While the movie does drag at certain points, the fight sequences make up for the slow pacing. It's also quite obvious that this movie was made to capitalize on the CB craze of the 70's.

for a Chuck Norris film,this one isn't that bad.it's one of this earlier ones.it's not his best by any means.but it is a lot of fun to watch.the plot is nothing new.corrupt town town,run by a corrupt judge and corrupt police.older brother sets out to find younger brother who disappears on his first solo trucking run.finds out out he may be somewhere in the corrupt town,either dead or alive.older brother sets out to rescue younger brother and becomes a one man wrecking crew.that's the synopsis in a nutshell.obviously there's lots of martial arts action.and it's actually pretty well done.there aren't a lot of flashy camera tricks to make it look fancy.the acting is adequate for this genre.i've seen much worse in my time.for me,Breaker! Breaker! is a 6/10

Chuck Norris + lots off dusty places and sweaty people + a bar full of 1. Creepy dolls, 2. A barmaid in a Lola-Paltinger-worthy dirndl with oddly-colored ribbons tied in her hair like a small dog, 3. A Lilliputian chess set, 4. Only a few dusty bottles of off-brand liquor, 5. The decor of a dive from Bar Rescue + a grocery store with a bunch of paper signs outside shilling a bunch of probably-expired food in a tone of sheer desperation + a hilarious love van with an eagle painted on both sides = holy smokes how did this not sweep the Oscars?

And did I mention Chuck Norris in that most classic of formal attire: the Canadian tuxedo? Banjo music x 1,000!!! Car chases with rooster tails of dust!!! And I admit I watched the Rifftrax version which was hilarious but even without that it would be a fun romp with a couple o' Cuhrz Lahts in your system.

Pop the chicharrones, crack a cold one, and enjoy the wonder that is Breaker, Breaker!!

If you liked the styles of the 70s, you'll love Breaker Breaker. Check out the blown-dry hairdos, the "knotty pine" paneling, the Coors beers ... ahhh. This movie must have marked the peak and beginning of the decline of the CB fad.

Oh, plot, acting etc? *giggle* As if!

Rifftrax guys take this terrible 70s film and bring some lols.
