Movie Reviews of Truck Turner
Movie Review: Action
Summary: 5 Stars
Action the whole movie and it's quite funny too. If you like movies full of action and gun play this is a movie you want to see. It's got pimps and ho's and the bounty hunters. I first saw this movie years ago when I thought Issac Hayes was just a singer boy was I wrong. I love black action movies like this and you will get your money worth with this movie.
Summary of Truck Turner
Academy Award?(r) winner* Isaac Hayes and Yaphet Kotto (Alien) star in this powerful, pull-out-the-stops crime thriller from director Jonathan Kaplan (Unlawful Entry). It's a gritty, action-packed tale of the streets, pulsating with ultra-smooth soul, high-octane energy and nonstop suspense. Truck Turner (Hayes) is a football star-turned-bounty hunter who's tracking a sadistic pimp on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Armed with his brute strength and ace cool partner (Alan Weeks), Truck closes in on his mark. But a tragic accident soon changes all the rules, and suddenly the hunter finds himself being hunted by the city's deadliest hired killers! Truck strikes back ina series of wild car chases, shootouts and bone-crunching fistfights, knowing that the battles can lead to only one place: an intense struggle to the death against Harvard Blue (Kotto), the brutal leader of L.A.'s organized crime syndicate. *1971: Original Song, ShaftAfter he sang the praises of a certain black private dick named Shaft (but before he started slinging hash in the little town of South Park), mega-baritone crooner Isaac Hayes got a chance to personally bust some heads in this little known but ultra-cool blaxploitation classic. Hayes (who would later spoof his rock-solid performance in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka) is the titular ex-linebacker and bounty hunter who's determined to clean up the savage streets--with extreme prejudice. A sadly neglected, primo slice of '70s guilty pleasure that boasts a dream supporting cast including Scatman Crothers, Yaphet Kotto as an evil crime boss named Harvard Blue, and Trek's Nichelle Nichols as a very un-Uhura-like, foul-mouthed lady of the evening. Fans who can't get enough of Isaac should also check out his riotous turn as the villain in Escape from New York. --Andrew Wright
