Truck Turner
(1974)
Director: Jonathan Kaplan
Starring: Isaac Hayes, Yaphet Kotto, Alan Weeks, Annazette Chase
our comment. "Isaac Hayes is the perfect grindhouse hero."
Truck Turner is a football star-turned bounty hunter who's tracking a sadistic pimp on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Armed with his brute strength and ace cool partner, Truck closes in on his mark. But a tragic accident soon changes all the rules, and suddenly the hunter finds himself being hunted by the city's deadliest hired killers! Truck strikes back in a series of wild car chases, shootouts and bone-crunching fistfights, knowing that the battles can lead to only one place: an intense struggle to the death against Harvard Blue, the brutal leader of L.A.'s organized crime syndicate.

An action-packed tale of the streets, pulsating with ultra-smooth soul, high-octane energy and nonstop silly nonsense.
