Dad's Preview:
I saw this action film at a drive-in, naturally, in El Paso, Texas,
thanks to my dear older sister. Its violence and racism shocked me!
(but held my attention) This is one of the better "B" movie at that time and there
were two sequels. Frankly, the acting is
sub par, yet some of the scenes are really
intense. Tom Laughlin's martial arts skills are
unquestionably impressive. I do love when he
dispatches three thugs with lightning quickness
and a judo chop or two. |
