Breaker! Breaker! is a 1977 film starring Chuck Norris. The story follows a truck driver, John David "J.D." Dawes (Norris), who must infiltrate a desert town and save his brother, Billy (Michael Augenstein), who is imprisoned by the town's corrupt judge (George Murdock). The majority of the movie, however, features Smokey and the Bandit-style truckers using their massive vehicles to destroy private property and speaking in a wink-and-snicker dialogue, which is carried all the way through the closing credits.
The movie was featured on the May 24, 2007 episode of Late Night With Conan O'Brien where Conan used a "Breaker! Breaker! lever" similar to the "Walker, Texas Ranger" lever he used to showcase random scenes from the show for humor.
