Directed by Don Hulette
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)
An uneasy mixture of the CB radio craze, westerns and martial arts, that somehow works due to the presence of Chuck Norris. His brother drives a rig into Texas City, an abandoned western set substituting for a California town. Its inhabitants are stereotypical southern goons, preying on unsuspecting motorists. Chuck arrives to find his brother who has been kidnapped. His karate skills easily overcome any attempts to stop him by the locals. He has a fight with a deputy in slow motion. In the finale, 18-wheelers destroy the town. Helped immensely by the cinematography of Mario DiLeo and a moody soundtrack that incorporates country tunes sung by the director as well as some moody electronics for the brief martial arts scenes.
