bensonmum2 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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Despite being from 1977, a movie 2 years younger than myself, I still sat down to watch it, given the fact that it starred Chuck Norris. I didn't read the synopsis, nor did I know what it was about, but it had Chuck Norris, which in itself is a selling point.I must say that "Breaker! Breaker!" seems like a hybrid between "Convoy" and "Over the Top", yet it failed to live up to both movies in any noteworthy manner. It captured nothing interesting from either of these two movies, and while this would seem good as it would not be a copy of either movies. However, "Breaker! Breaker!" just failed to be unique.The movie is a rather boring one at best, with a slow paced and rather pointless story. And this permeated throughout the entire movie, making it a less than mediocre experience.I managed to sit through 53 minutes of "Breaker! Breaker!", and believe me that my attention and focus was sorely tested. I just ended up giving up, because the movie wasn't taking any turn for an improvement, and it just thrummed on in the same monotonous and irrelevant pace that it had been since it started.Now, I am not overly a huge fan of Chuck Norris, and I am most definitely not a follower of his just because he is Chuck Norris. But I decided to watch "Breaker! Breaker!" because I found it by chance and his movies were usually fairly entertaining back in the day. However, "Breaker! Breaker!" was just not one of those entertaining movies."Breaker! Breaker!" is surely a movie for the dedicated fans of Chuck Norris, but you might actually be better off watching "Convoy" or "Over the Top" instead.

callanvass (Plot) Chuck Norris's younger brother is kidnapped by a corrupt judge in a small town. Can Chuck uncover the corruption and find his missing brother before it's too late?Why did I revisit this? I hated this movie the first time I saw it, what made me think I would feel differently? When it comes to early Norris films, you're most likely gonna get awful films, but this is his worst by a landslide. I can't begin to tell you how awfully cheap this is. The set pieces are especially cheap looking. I also have a problem with the movie itself. How is it that nobody has bothered to uncover the truths about all the corruption caused by the Judge? (George Murdock) I also can't believe it took them this long to fight back. I hate script contrivances like that. The fight scenes aren't great. Norris's moves seem ordinary in this one, and when he does do some fancy stuff, the camera inexplicably cuts away for some reason. Check out that final fight scene where Norris is able to ignore a gunshot wound in the stomach, and still kick ass. We also get lame symbolism with constant shots of a horse during it. The 70's had a big trucker fad, with plenty of plots involving them. This turkey was one of them. Chuck Norris is wooden beyond belief here. His blonde hair does all his acting for in this one. Even his moves are boring. Chuck had a habit of languishing with low budget crud like this. Stuff like Delta Force, Missing in Action were far from great, but at least they had much bigger budgets. George Murdock is horribly hammy, and should be ashamed for his awful performance here. You gotta do what you gotta do when you need money, though. Final Thoughts: You reap what you sew if you decide to view this. I've stupidly seen it twice now, so it goes to show you how smart I am. If you want a good Norris film, check out Lone Wolf McQuade or Code of Silence. Even die hard fans of cheapies will receive headaches from this oneDUD

thinker1691 Chuck Norris became a American Icon when he reached the top of the Martial Arts world. Winning nearly every competition from East to the West coast, his fame proceeded him into films. There he made several low budget movies which led to his most memorable confrontation with the legendary Bruce Lee. In this film called " Breaker, Breaker " Norris plays John Dawes who's younger brother Billy (Michael Augenstein) a trucker has been arrested, jailed, kidnapped and presumed killed, at the whim of corrupt Judge Joshua Trimmings (George Murdock). The small town sheriff works with the judge to waylay Dawes as he enters the town. Throughout the film one can see Norris in action as he takes on the Sheriff and his henchmen and literally dusts' them. Though there is much to be said for the Martial artist, except for his talent, Norris's acting as well as the rest of the cast is stiff, boring and cardboard. The plot is simple as is the entire premise. Still if you're a Norris fan, this is one for you. If not you can do with this film as the title suggest. **
