Movie Reviews of Breaker, Breaker

Movie Review: Complex themes, Good Action, Good Flick
Summary: 4 Stars

I really found this movie to be quite original and not surprisingly action packed. The plot was original and entertaining with concurrent themes and constant suspense. The acting was a little weak in only a few places, but overall the performances were really quite good for an action movie during the time frame it was created. What really surprised me was the sophisticated cinematography, usually action movies are kind of lax in that area. Chuck Norris did a fine job in his fledgeling incursion into film from martial arts, and his real world skills amazed often throughout the film. I would recommend this film to anyone, especially action afficiandos.

Summary of Breaker, Breaker

Chuck Norris ("Walker Texas Ranger") puts the pedal to the metal in this hard-driving action/adventure exploding with heart-pounding chases and slam-bang martial arts battles. As powerful as an 18-wheeler and as fast-moving as a lethal karate chop Breaker! Breaker! pushes the throttle wide open for nonstop excitement.When trucker Billy Dawes (Michael Augenstein) vanishes during his first solo run his older brother J.D. (Norris) sets out in search of answers. What J.D. finds however is a deadly conspiracy involving a corrupt small-town judge (George Murdock) and a ring of thieves who prey upon unsuspecting motorists. With help from a beautiful local woman (Terry O'Connor) J.D. searches for his brother and battles the criminals with his amazing karate skills fighting all the way to an explosive final showdown that may just destroy the entire town!System Requirements:Running Time: 86 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 027616855534 Manufacturer No: 1001273
Made in the heady days of movies like Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit, when CB radios were expected to create the kind of communication network the Internet has provided, Breaker! Breaker! tells the tale of J.D. Dawes (Chuck Norris of Good Guys Wear Black and TV's Walker, Texas Ranger), a trucker in tight jeans and a blonde shag. While J.D. is defending his arm-wrestling reputation in a truck stop poolroom, his younger brother Billy is being taken advantage of by the crooked cops of Texas City, California, a former ghost town turned would-be tourist trap, run by a corrupt judge named Joshua Trimmings. When the scam gets out of hand, Billy disappears--and J.D. comes to town to find him. There are many campy things to appreciate about Breaker! Breaker! (the sequined collar of the shirt Norris wears during a meditation teaching, or the glorious air-brushed eagle on Norris's van), and by contemporary Jackie Chan/The Matrix standards the fighting is slow and unspectacular--but ironically, this actually gives the action some grit and makes the blows feel more visceral than the wild flips and kicks of more recent movies. The chase scenes have surprising momentum, and there's some fine scenery-chewing by George Murdock as the wicked judge. And for a curious bit of trivia, Jack Nance--who must have been playing the lead in David Lynch's Eraserhead concurrent with Breaker! Breaker!--plays a trucker friend of Norris's. --Bret Fetzer
