Truck Turner

Truck Turner (1975)

Jonathan Kaplan had just directed back-to-back sleaze classics for Roger Corman, Night Call Nurses and The Student Teachers. Isaac Hayes had won the Oscar for scoring Shaft. Nichelle Nichols, in a rare post-"Star Trek" gig, gets all the best lines as a vicious, foul-mouthed madam. And Yaphett Koto seethes with method menace as a killer pimp. Too bad the end result is so turgid and clumsy.

But this trailer is damn funny.
