      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Breaker! Breaker! One-Nine. Come in? Ya got your ears on, Good Buddy? Complete with lots of CB lingo, karate chops, high speed chases, and more karate chops, Breaker! Breaker! is the story of good natured, but tough-as-nails trucker J.D. Dawes (Norris) whose young dirt-bike-riding brother Billy (Michael Augenstein) disappears on his first run jockeying an 18-wheeler. When J.D. goes looking for him, he discovers that the entire town of Texas City

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits images that are quite sharp, though fine details are wanting. Colors are well balanced, though somewhat dated. Film grain and source element artifacts are revealed at times, but otherwise the picture can be quite solid. Visual information is wanting in the darker scenes. Some minor pixelization is noticed, but edge enhancement is not too much of a factor. Overall, the picture is generally pleasing at best. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #50 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Your magazine was the only one available to me that not only provided forward-looking articles (such as reports on the development of the HDTV standard), but also provided information on equipment and offered the only reviews I could find on Laser Discs. Thanks to your publication, most of my video library is letterboxed. I am now prepared for my dream HDTV. Thanks for the information that allows me to prepare for the future!
