Review of Breaker! Breaker! (1977) by Michael A — 20 May 2011

Breaker, Breaker (1977).

For being released the same year as 'Star Wars', Breaker, Breaker! didn't exactly pose as a huge threat box office wise. It barely rivals anyting even plot wise, but some how it is actually a semi-entertaining movie. It is definitely old and retro and features Chuck Norris in some of the worst quarter-roy bell bottoms ever! The plot line was just a bit breezy and ridiculous and almost came off as more of a comic book than anything, but it was still fun seeing Chuck Norris beat some hick ass! Don't expect any extraordinary acting from old Chuck either, this one is purely about the ass-whoopin'. The final fight was kind of weak, I wish they would have built it up to somebody tougher than that chump mexican cop! That dude is nobody worthy of fighting the Chuck! Overall: The plot was decent yet silly and the action was just a bit watered down compared to other action spectaculars that Chuck Norris has participated like 'Missing in Action'. Actually I would just go ahead and watch 'Missing in Action' and forget all about 'Breaker, Breaker!'. But if your in the mood for some 70's exploitation, bell-bottomed, trucker action, then go ahead and give it a go.
