It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

IMDb's plot summary for Breaker! Breaker! Is short and sweet – "Truck driver searches for his brother, who has disappeared in a town run by a corrupt judge." There's really not much more that needs to be said about the plot. Chuck Norris goes looking for his brother, discovers he disappeared in a backwoods town, kicks everyone in sight, calls his trucker buddies to bust up the buildings, rescues his bother. That's it. There are no twists or turns or other surprises. Breaker! Breaker! moves from point A to point B in the straightest line imaginable. If the writers spent more than 30 minutes on the script, they were wasting their time. For me, Breaker! Breaker! is predictable, silly, and not a lot of fun. Watching Breaker! Breaker!, it's difficult to believe that Norris would go on to have the film career he did. Other than kicking a few dudes, Norris doesn't offer much. He was never an award quality actor, but some of his films are at least entertaining. Even some of his early films are fun – I especially enjoy Silent Rage. I say this to point out that I'm not a hater – I just don't enjoy this movie. Two things that I did, however, enjoy were the performances of George Murdock and Jack Nance. Murdock's over-the-top portrayal of Judge Joshua Trimmings is one of the few highlights. And Jack Nance is always a lot of fun. It's a shame these guys are wasted in this turkey of a film.

Dumb bit of business that has some value as an unintentional comedy but nothing else. Chuck Norris stars as a high-kicking truck driver out to find his little brother, who ran into trouble in a hick town in California run by a cartoon villain. This really could have been fun but, sadly, it's not. The script is full of tired clichés and cardboard characters. The production values are so cheap it looks like it was made for television. The town where the bulk of the movie takes place appears to be one of those old western sets from the silent movie days. I doubt there's more than ten nails holding up the whole place. The climax involving a convoy of truckers demolishing the town is pretty unimpressive since a good gust of wind would've done the trick. Chuck gets to do some arm wrestling, barroom brawling, lovemaking, and, of course, kicking. Speaking of which, the fight scenes are nothing to brag about. The highlight of the movie is the corny montage of Chuck and his girlfriend walking and talking while some cheesy song plays. This is really a stinker. It was obviously meant to cash in on the short-lived trucker and CB craze of the '70s, one of the most baffling fads ever. Like I said before, some fun could have been had here but this is just a slog to get through.

If you paid money for this movie, you got stuck. "Plan Nine From Outer Space" the worst movie ever? Maybe until this one came along. Semi trucks never seen on pavement? Weird. Usually they drive on major roads, not the set of some dirt movie ranch. I know. They was just trying to cash in on the C.B. radio craze. This movie is bad. A real stinkeroo. Chuck sucked. Poor retarded Arnie seemed to be the best actor in it. I like it when he dies: "I'm mad at you." (his brother accidentally shot him) He then closes his eyes and says, "It's getting' dark." I'm sorry. I laughed my...I laughed. An Acadamy Award nominated scene it wasn't. Oh, the humanity! This movie was on last night. I KNOW it sucks, yet I watched it from start to finish. Why? I'm just a glutton for punishment. Lots of bloopers. An extensive off road chase with huge clouds of dust. Chuck gets away and goes to some broads house. Close up shows not a speck of dust on a freshly washed and waxed van. Check out when the trick van drives through a barn wall or fence. The wood is cardboard. When the town gets destroyed not one building has much more than plywood. Some were just a single false-front wall! Building codes in "Texas City"? Nope. Just trash. Like the movie. A great "UpChuck Inducer".
