This has to be one of the most 70s films ever. It has truckers, country music, average motel sex, badly choreographed fight scenes and some truly awful fashions. Michael Hawkins is Mike Kelly, a truck driver who is following in his father's footsteps. Though hopefully not too closely as his dad died when his truck lost brakes and crashed...
Mike is investigating what really happened to dad and is looking at the brake wires on his dad's truck quite intently. The trucking company boss Jake (Jack Cannon) is up to no good, shipping stolen goods for the mob. It appears that Mike's dad was threatening to set up his own shipping business. Was he silenced? What did Diesel Joe (Larry Drake) do to his rig?
Meanwhile Mike meets Karen (Mary Cannon) and falls for her... then discovers she is Jake's daughter. So he throws them both in a pool, after he first beats up Jake's lame henchmen...
So it is quite a straight forward plot. It is pretty low budget with some quite odd camera work at times. The film is great fun though. So bad it is good? Of course.
