Breaker! Breaker! (1977) is easily one of the best trucker movies ever released. Why? 1. It stars Chuck Norris. 2. Its tagline is A town without justice. A hero without fear. 3. Chuck, naturally enough, takes on crooked cops and judges with his fists and feet and as always, kicks MAJOR ASS! Which brings us to two-girl, two-boy Breaker Breaker, easily one of Seattles best up-and-coming bands. Why? 1. All four members are way sexier than Chuck Norris, especially singer-guitarist Ashleigh Estes and keyboardist Emily Stockman. 2. If they had a tagline, it would be A town without enough good New Wave-y punk-pop. A band without fear (of lugging its gear around for fifty bucks a gig). 3. Breaker Breaker, naturally enough, takes on the responsibility of rocking you with their spiky, steamy, dance-y grooves, thereby kicking MAJOR ASS!
