Ok, that movie is the perfect seventies piece of junk, as there was so many more. Directed by Jack Starrett, not his best work, far from that, it could have been from Earl Bellamy again - after WALKING TALL PART 2 - or a guy like Paul Wendkos, Lewis Teague, David Lowell Rich; all those small budget seventies action flicks directors who could also work for TV industry, from time to time. And there were galore. And with this movie, I finally understand why I have often confounded Joe Don Baker and Bo Svenson: first, both played the same character Bufford in WALKING TALL films series, and, second, we must admit that both look really alike, same heavy set, rough face, tough characters, testosterone providers.... The movie itself is not a good one, it is lousy, forgettable, and only the ending, anti-climax, is worth. The rest remains only a good time waster.
