Tagline: Kelly is his name. Truckin' is his game.
Plot: A young man takes up truck-driving to investigate his trucker father's suspicious death.
My rating: 5.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Here's an exploitation picture that lives up to its poster. It's got truckin', truckers, chicks, car chases, fist fights, guitar playin', titties and more trucks. It's also got Christian Slayer's pop (Kelly's his name and truckin's his game) sexin' up the ladies while solving the murder of his father which involves the Mafia. He gets help from Sigourney Weaver's uncle, Doddles Weaver, and does battle with Larry Drake and judging by Drake's performance you'd never guess he'd go on to be an award-winning actor and B-movie star. Kelly (Hawkins) quits college to drive the big rigs and find out who killed his father. If that premise wasn't enough then everything else should whet your appetite for this low budget, drive-in cheesefest. It's low rent no matter how you slice it from the acting to the cornball country & western songs. But it's also entertaining to a degree. The humor probably isn't going to make you laugh, your heart rate won't fluctuate between the action scenes and the brief nudity but it's never boring and exists as a reasonable time killer.
