After months of searching, I finally caught up with the Isaac Hayes blaxploitation hit Truck Turner. It's just not fair! This great action movie, Hayes' only lead role ever, is amazingly hard to find! I paid $15 to buy it at a Best Buy store, and I really got my money's worth. While I expected something along the lines of Shaft (and I wasn't disappointed there), I noticed a lot of similarities between this movie, made in 1974, and recent releases like L.A. Confidential and Jackie Brown! The plot: Hayes plays Mack Truck Turner, a former football star who was forced to retire due to an injury. Now he works as a bounty hunter with his partner Jerry (Alan Weeks is great!) When he kills his most recent target, a pimp named Gator, he's in trouble with Mack Daddy Harvard Blue and his vicious hoes, as well as a one-eyed assassin and a lot of other unpleasant characters! Isaac Hayes proves that he can act almost as good as he can sing! Nichelle Nicols of Star Trek gives the second-best performance in the movie as a hoe, Scatman Crothers is slick as Duke, the only pimp who backs Truck, and Annazette Chase is surprisingly good as Truck's lady! This one is a real classic. If you like Isaac Hayes, or blaxploitation, and you find this movie somewhere, no matter how much it costs, buy it. It's worth it. **** out of ****
原声媲美黠伏特
Issac Hayes主演兼作曲，原声依然优秀。影片节奏失衡，前缓后急问题严重。追车戏可以一看，前期活宝双雄的喜剧效果也尚可，前十分钟的镜头和表演方式仿佛电视情景喜剧。看来70年代Blax中后期已经形成了一套对Blax知名影片提及致敬的体系，Truck Turner几个手持左轮瞄准的镜头像极了《肮脏的哈里》
Isaac Hayes气场足配乐也正，喜欢两个搭档插科打诨的部分，高潮反派死去的安静时刻处理高光，就是中段的叙事节奏略停滞、配角场景过多。
6.0/10 勉强给个及格，黑哥们单挑一条龙
