The ladies can’t keep their hands off Isaac Hayes in Truck Turner.

Truck Turner (Hayes) is a football star-turned-bounty hunter who’s tracking a sadistic pimp on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Armed with his brute strength and ace cool partner, Truck closes in on his mark. But a tragic accident soon changes all the rules, and suddenly the hunter finds himself being hunted by the city’s deadliest hired killers! Truck strikes back in a series of wild car chases, shootouts and bone-crunching fistfights.
