Breaker breaker good buddy! We got a bear in the air on 95 going north, a bear in the grass on route 50, with Brother and Sister Berenstain Bear running a checkpoint for icons in the bear community over by the bear shop, so buckle your bearbelt, step on the bear pedal and get ready to haul some bears. We don't know much about trucker slang here at RiffTrax, but we gather that roughly 98% of it is bear based.
In
Breaker! Breaker!, Chuck Norris, star of the jokes from 2007 that your lamest uncle is just now finding out about and preparing to forward to you, stars as a trucker who is also a champion arm wrestler. It's like
Over The Top only with slightly less confusion about the hero's last name.
Chuck's brother is making his first ever trucking delivery, and his cargo is several hundred frozen TV dinners. His routine haul goes awry when his truck is attacked by lonely men in search of cheap, barely edible food-like substances. Actually, he's captured by the citizens of a rogue town of drunken hicks led by the delightfully Kelsey Grammer-esque Judge Trimmings.
Chuck must go in search of his missing mustache, and also his brother. To rescue him, he'll need to very slowly kick some butt, due to the lack of mobility afforded by his denim jacket/pants combo. Fortunately, he's got an ace up his sleeve: all his trucker pals who are apparently willing to kill dozens of people and destroy an entire town based on one CB radio message from an anonymous source reporting that a guy who they've seen arm wrestle once or twice is apparently in some sort of trouble.
It's a tale full of moonshine, hillbillies and sweet airbrushed eagles on the sides of vans. Mike, Kevin and Bill 86 the tuna, get the six top seated and give the blue plate special wings (trucker slang) in one of Chuck Norris' finest mustache-less films,

Watching it now. Ah, the life of a graphic designer...
So, guys, not to question your brilliance or anything, but...
When we see the "simple" character in the movie "mourning" over his brother Mike quips, "Robert Downey, Jr's character in Tropic Thunder saw this performance and thought the actor went a bit too far."
I believe Mike meant Ben Stiller's character who was criticized for taking the role of "Simple Jack" too far in the portrayal of a person with a mental disability.
It was Robert Downey Jr's character that criticised Ben Stiller's character for having gone too far. They're talking about the criticism itself.
WHOA YOU GUYS THERE ARE TRUCKS IN THIS MOVIE LIKE IN THAT MST3K EPISODE RIDING WITH DEATH! ...ALSO CHUCK NORRASS!
One million likes for these VODs!!! These latest titles kick so much ass!! MP3-what?? Who cares.

True, but seems to me the joke would've been "funnier" had it made Ben Stiller's character the one to find the guy went too far in his performance. Since it was Ben Stiller's character himself who went too far in portraying a mental handicapped person. Heck, I even thought that joke myself before Mike said, that this guy made Tugg Speedman's Simple Jack performance look soft and nuanced.
I like reauthoring.

Me too. I even made a 1080p version of Cool as Ice. Was hoping for HD Breaker! breaker! but no such luck.
...why does it matter?
Can't you just imagine hearing that CB chatter... IN HIGH DEFINITION!
After Twilight thought there would be another week break before the next riff, but hey it's my birthday weekend and I'm watching this one to celebrate tomorrow. Yay.
Seems to me having an evil town attack a guy one man at a time with their fists is NOT such a good idea.

I still buy everything so it doesn't really matter but I would take a 1080p file over 480p any day!
I was pretty shocked to discover that I had already seen this movie. It must've been on "This", "Antenna" or one of the other bad movie channels when I was home sick one day.
Heh, I just saw this movie the other day in one of those "Cheap DVDs" bins in a grocery store.
Mike's Nick Nolte bit was awesome, especially the line about "smuggled Canadian Robitussin."
