I remember it as a bay and I remember wanting to watch it because of the interaction between Peter Brown and Smith. Both were heroes of the 60's era series Laredo to which I was also a fan (and remain so). I think that Brown and Smith possess a definite chemistry that I wish had been exploited more when they were in their prime. But alas, while they both had good careers, I believe this was their only non-Laredo pairing. All the negative comments about the acting, the script, the endless filler and every other bad thing that can be said is true. But for a 12 year old boy who fancied himself a future body builder and wanna be 'bad-ass', anything with William Smith is great cinema. It would have been awesome to have seen him in a starring role in even just one big time movie production. But it was never to be. I have grown old now and the years grow long in the mirror. But anytime I watch the great William Smith I am taken back to the security of my parents living room and the wonder of our Zenith color console TV. Days I will never get back but days I will always remember. So adios and vaya con Dios to Joe Riley and Chad, better Texas Rangers there never were. (Sorry Mr Norris, They did it first and did it best.)<br /><br />RIP William Smith and Peter BrownAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301947918343750611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-46324284295446489102015-12-09T01:59:21.604-08:002015-12-09T01:59:21.604-08:00kinda cool for a 70s film. William Smith is the u...kinda cool for a 70s film. William Smith is the usual bad-ass badguy. Its funny how people (characters) superimpose their own BS on others until "O wait, its meeeeeeee....."<br /><br />Terry was an annoying bitch 5 min. till the end. Where's the piranhas when you need'em?<br /><br />Most interesting character - the psycho. 2nd is a tie between Jim and Terry.
