Breaker! Breaker! is not the the sort of movie that would ever be eligible for any kind of rewards consideration, but for what it is, it succeeds on its own merits. Breaker! Breaker! is a CB/ redneck trucker karate movie that is a good vehicle for Chuck Norris to show his fighting skills in his 1st leading role. Obviously riding the on the popularity of Smokey And The Bandit, The Dukes Of Hazard and Convoy. This drive in action movie is good entertainment for sure with awesomely bad acting, 70's redneck trucker stuff and Chuck Norris beating up a bunch of hillbillies with no chance who don't know who they are messing with. Breaker! Breaker! is hilarious and a lot of campy fun. While this is by no means the best Chuck Norris movie, you can certainly do much worse. It is a hard movie to take seriously, but if you enjoy the movie Convoy and like low budget karate movies, Breaker! Breaker! is for you good buddy. That is a big 10/4 , over and out.

The only thing I remember about this piece of "feces" is a bunch of truckers destroy a town, which isn't so much a town as it is a really, really bad set. And the final fight takes 15 minutes 21 seconds because it's all in slow motion... I think Norris might end up making out with his kid brother at the end. If you're into male-oriented trucker fantasy, look no further. Or if you like really bad movies, which is my case, then you've found yourself a feces-encrusted rusted-out-Chevy-Nova of a film. I'm definitely not into the male-oriented trucker fantasy genre... I'm not! Stop , I'm telling the truth! (soon you will be mine, J.D. Dawes) Cut it out! Stop reading my text so knowingly. (soon Dawes, very soon...) (you've been a bad boy, Dawes...) Honestly, this movie sucked.(soon, Dawes. so soon...)

For the truckers out on the open road, "Breaker! Breaker!" is a movie for them. Chuck Norris plays J.D. Dawes, a trucker who goes to a town where his brother gets a moving violation charge against him. However, the town isn't what it seems. There's a judge who happens to be crooked as he can be. His town isn't as peaceful or as friendly it supposed to be. Whenever someone commits a crime in this town, justice isn't what it's supposed to be. So when JD goes into town to find his brother and some answers, he gets more than he bargains for. He gets his van shot, he takes out the law, and when he gets caught, who bails him out? The truckers of course. Following the dreaded "Duel", and the hilarious "Smokey and the Bandit", "Breaker! Breaker!" has action and trucks to see. For me, I love semis. And this is good before seeing "Good Guys Wear Black" where it's all action. Before you can check out this movie, try "White Line Fever"! 2.5 out of 5 stars!

Directed by third-rate schlock artist Don Hulette, the 1977 Chuck Norris film "Breaker! Breaker!" doesn't do its future star any favors. The script is moronic, the cinematography is amateurish and the acting, with the exception of veteran George Murdock, is uniformly terrible. The plot is something out of a drunken CBer's nightmare. Chuck's little brother (played by Michael Augenstein) is abducted while driving his truck through a small lawless Texas town (called "Texas City"). The judge (Murdock) and his police force of goons control the town and make money off of wayward strangers who pass through. The whole town is in cahoots with them and it seems everyone who resides there is either a complete idiot or just plain criminally insane. When old Chuck drops in to investigate his brother's whereabouts, he's soon battling the entire population. That's no problem for our hero, however. After administering a few karate kicks to the groins of these morons, Chuck is well on his way to solving the mystery. The highlight (if one could call it that) of this nonsense is when Chuck's fellow truckers come rambling through Texas City and level the place once and for all. What took them so long?Norris went on to big and better things after this turkey and his acting, although still a bit wooden for most tastes, improved "dramatically" over time. Murdock, a well-seasoned and respected character actor, must have needed a paycheck really bad to involve himself in this mess of a movie. For viewing audiences, the pain of sitting through this abomination is at least mercifully short (less than 90 minutes). I'm sure Mr. Norris has buried this one in his vault---and sealed it shut.
