| OregonianStan HallGiven his iconic bald head, gravitas-laden voice and enormous musical success, it was inevitable that someone in the blaxploitation-heavy '70s would attempt to turn the unassailably cool Isaac Hayes into an action hero. |
| User ReviewMark WAn amazing blacksploitation film that defies Afro-American law enforcement-oriented issues. |
| User ReviewWill "the Thrill" VI'm talkin' 'bout Isaac Hayes! |
| User ReviewDavid HIsaac Hayes stars as Truck Turner a maverick bounter hunter. When he kills a pimp his bottom bitch seeks revenge and puts a hit out him. Turners gun makes Dirty Harrys 44.Magnum look like a rentboys Muff Pistol. Up there with the cream of Blaxploitation cinema. |
| User ReviewBill MA Soul Cinema Classic from the golden age of the 1970's. Director Jonathan Kaplan first and only attempt into making a blaxploitation flick that became AIP's biggest moneymaker of that year. Not only the movie was great,but the soundtrack to this is incredible! Watching the great Issac Hayes(who won the Oscar in 1971 for his Musical Theme to Shaft) as Truck Turner who is a modern day bounty hunter taking out the baddies including the ultimate showdown with Yaphet Kotto is well worth viewing not to even mention the grindhouse performance of Nichelle "Uhara" Nichols as a sadistic evil female pimp(who wants to get her revenge against Truck Turner) who acting chops goes to anything beyond the dimension of Star Trek(and as far away from the Uhara character as she could get). "Truck Turner" was one of two action-packed films that were HUGE moneymaker for American International when it was released in 1974. The other AIP moneymaker? "Foxy Brown" which came out in the summer of that year. |
| User ReviewMalaika KIsaac Hayes stars as Mack Truck Turner, a bounty hunter with a real reputation on the street. This film has a pretty good story line & an extremely superb soundtrack. In addition, there are some notable actors that one would recognize. A great Friday night DVD flick with your significant other, LOL. |
