"Mac 'Truck' Turner" (Isaac Hayes) and "Jerry" (Alan Weeks) are two modern-day bounty hunters who have just accepted the difficult task of bringing a dangerous pimp by the name of "Gator" (Paul Harris) back into custody. Unfortunately, things don't exactly go as planned and Gator's business manager, "Dorinda" (Nichelle Nichols) offers her entire stable of working girls to whoever can kill Truck Turner. Suddenly, all of Gator's competitors-to include an especially mean one by the name of "Harvard Blue" (Yaphet Kotto)-leap at the opportunity to increase their profit margins. Anyway, as far as "blaxploitation" films are concerned this is probably one of the better ones out there. It has plenty of action spiced with typical jargon and good performances by several actors to include Isaac Hayes, Yaphet Kotto and Nichelle Nichols (who is best known for her role as "Uhura" in the Star Trek series). Surprisingly though, it doesn't have that much sex or nudity. Additionally, some of the scenes were a bit too unrealistic. Still, if a person enjoys movies of this genre then I believe they will certainly like this one as well. Slightly above average.
