Damn, this movie is awesome. It's sometimes really funny and is extremely badass. It's funny how the car in the chase scene bashes into so many stuff, and it re-occurs in the hospital chase scene. DAMN AWESOME!

Isaac Hayes plays a bounty hunter who kills a pimp for jumping his bail, resulting in a series of retributive attacks by his pimp buddies. Some hilarious 70s fashions and a great cast, including Yaphet Kotto as an ice cold pimp daddy and Nichelle Nichols as a foul mouthed madam. Plenty of action with car chases, brawls and gunfights galore. A solid if unexceptional blaxploitation flick.

Car chases, shootouts, bar fights, love scenes fading out at the right moment, and hanging people out the window to make them talk. Truck Turner is a blaxploitation action movie containing all the right elements to bore me half to death. No, Isaac Hayes roughing people up is not a good enough reason to watch a movie. Eh, I guess Koto helps a little.

Sure, it was '74 and other than Lady Sings The Blues or anything with Sidney Poitier in it, there wasn't a whole lot going on with black cinema. It certainly wasn't being taken seriously, and in most cases, it shouldn't have been. Truck Turner is of the gritty, 'Sig Shore' variety of films from that era, but you can't beat Isaac Hayes kickin' ass. You just can't pull that shit on Truck Turner! I give it a 65 just for the pure 70s feel of it.

Nice blaxpoitation drama with the leads taken coolly by Issac Hayes and Yaphet Kotto. Not up there with the best but has everything you need.

Hilarious, bad-ass and thoroughly amusing. Seeing Isaac Hayes blast away some suckers is worth a look by itself, but a cussing Nichelle Nichols and Yaphet Kotto as an alpha male pimp make it even more entertaining. Great music as well.
