Review of White Line Fever (1975) by Ryan S — 26 Nov 2004
Caught this one on Action netowrk tonight...
Had this been done today, the "pay-off" scene would have been much better with a higher body count.
Being from Arizona, I particularly enjoyed because the movie is filmed in Tucson and Ajo. Although, the movie gave "thanks" to the Navajo Nation at the end of the movie and I don't understand this because Navajo's are primarily from northern Arizona in the four corners area. Tucson is primarily Pima, Chirachua and Apache. Anyway...
Enter Honest Trucker, looking for work. Happens to find work at a corrupt shipping company run by wannabe mob types (Tucson did used ot have a heavy mob scene--now it's white trash and mexican nationals)--Honest Trucker stands up to the "man." Honest Trucker gets jihad declared on him. Trucker declares jihad back.
Oh, before I forget--Richard Tyson from Kindergarten Cop is in this movie and he is very young. Looks a lot like the bad guy in Karate Kid 1. Why do I always get them confused?
This post is about as incoherent as this movie. That being said, I was very disappointed in the "pay-back" scene. Honest Trucker looses two of his best friends, his unborn son's life, his truck, his house, and all he can do is drive a truck through a gate of the "bad man" and destroy his sign.
Anyway, Slim Pickens is in this movie as well and I wouldn't recommend watching this movie unless you're sitting around doing nothing and there's nothing else on.
The End.
