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? 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 in a 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 ShaftSystem Requirements:Running Time: 91 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 027616857910 Manufacturer No: 1001471After 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
