Truck Turner on AllMovie

Mack "Truck" Turner (Issac Hayes) is an ex-football star who, due to a career-ending injury, is working as a skip tracer (bounty hunter) with his buddy Jerry (Alan Weeks). The two accept a job from a bail bondsman named Fogarty (Dick Miller) to apprehend dangerous pimp Gator (Paul Harris). After a couple of inquiries -- including scaring a coke dealer by hanging him out a window and a crazy car chase -- they finally find their way to Gator's hideout, where Truck shoots him. Gator's partner in prostitution, Dorinda (Nichelle Nichols), then offers a group of pimps a share in her stable of girls if they revenge the death of Gator, and forges a contract for Truck's life with Harvard Blue (Yaphet Kotto), suave head of organized crime in the city. But the towering Truck, always one step ahead, proves a hard target.
