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 wideopen for nonstop excitement. When trucker Billy Dawes (Michael Augenstein) vanishes duringhis first solo run, his older brother, J.D. (Norris), sets out in search of answers. What J.D. finds, however, is a d

Very good movie lots of truckin action and other stuff like that also lots of talk on CBs. Chuck Norris does a good job as a trucker and others do to.

Chuck Norris made his starring Debut in this slightly hokey action film about a trucker who’s brother gets caught in a one horse speedtrap of a town called Texas City. The DVD was mastered well with both wide and full screen versions. My only complaint is a lack of a trailer and the misprint of the time on my copy of the disk. How they lost 20 minutes of movie on the case is a mystery to me, as the movie really is 85 minutes, not 65.

and it’s a shame, these days most direct to video b-movies are not all that great, but back then, they were fun, sure the acting and story are not the best, but it’s fun, and really that’s what you come for right? fun, good action with some funny scenes in there.
the action may not seem like much next to the jackie chan movies or the post-matrix world and that’s a shame, Chucks action always seemed more real, down and dirty, his hits meant something, when he does his big kicks, you know that hurt.
the movie held up better than i thought it would, i saw it again for the first time in years just minutes ago, it has some 70′s styles and look, but really it’s more of a timeless western feel they have going on, chuck is the stanger coem to clean up “texas city” and save his brother, he faces down the locals, has a great fight or 20, gets the girl and walks off into the sunset.

This film recalls the Westerns of yesteryear. A small town is controlled by a crooked mayor and his corrupt sheriff. Instead of cattle, they are producing an illegal substance, moonshine liquor. But the people in this small town are all in this racket! That is a twist over the classic Westerns, like ‘Shane’.
The story starts with a speed trap that catches a truck driver, who protests this rigged justice. This driver then disappears. His older brother shows up to search for him, and runs into trouble. There are plenty of fights, car chases, and action. Chuck Norris outfights dozens of opponents, a preview of his later TV series. If the film is slow moving, that is to benefit a drive-in audience. A sprinkling of characters provides added dimensions to an otherwise simple film. Typically of this genre, the hero is captured and sentenced to death; his fate seems sealed. But a woman on a motorcycle (or her double) finds an abandoned Highway Patrol car (!), and calls for help on the radio. Passing truckers form a convoy to ride to the rescue, like the Cavalry in old Westerns [a distortion of history]. And so the good guys win in the end. Its not a great movie, but its not a bad movie. A larger budget could have improved it. The actor playing the crooked mayor was outstanding.

Dude any Chuck Norris movie rocks! This movie is no exception, I would not dare cross Chuck Norris, For he could come after me, And I would not mess with him if you know what i mean??!!! And I would NOT dare to rate this Under 5 stars due to the abovementioned, that said, this movie is a masterpiece, As it is a Trucker Movie, A Small town gone bad movie(Bad Day at Black Rock Anyone?) and A High Kicking punching Movie! The Truck Scenes are a couple especially towards later on, but the fighting is intense once you get to it. And Come on it’s Chuck Norris!
