Such a cool movie that surpassed my expectations. On paper the movie sounds ridiculous and should be horrible. Instead, just like you wrote in your review, it strives and succeeds at being more then your typical grindhouse fare.<br /><br />I don't know where Grier got his acting chops for this movie. He convincingly portrays a gentle giant that pushed too far, has developed mental problems. The movie doesn't lack for tawdry exploitation elements either. The scene where Saxon has a fight the two gays guys that spills into a pool wouldn't be made now. The ending beating death was shocking and came out of nowhere. I'll be revisiting this one again soon. Watching this made me wish Saxon had more leading man rolesJockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292833295819266389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-67460720221914616522017-07-01T18:16:54.379-07:002017-07-01T18:16:54.379-07:00Never heard of this one before.

I always liked Saxon after I saw him star as a cop in an episode of Police Story.<br /><br />Speaking of which, Shout Factory is finally releasing season 2 on dvd July 25th. Figured I'd throw that out there in case any 1970's Police Story fans were unaware. <br /><br />Jockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292833295819266389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-19691520532628492812017-06-30T10:28:05.664-07:002017-06-30T10:28:05.664-07:00The site Cool Ass Cinema is okay with it and notes...The site Cool Ass Cinema is okay with it and notes in passing "Gratuitous scene of some very attractive ladies seen in the film for no other reason to be [sic] a gratuitous scene of some very attractive ladies."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984112497088619496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-58872234856911988762017-06-29T18:00:35.987-07:002017-06-29T18:00:35.987-07:00John Saxon meets Rosey Grier?

Actual...John Saxon meets Rosey Grier? I'm sold!<br />Actually, I think Saxon has always been undervalued. He's very good in the (imo) overlooked Clint title 'Joe Kidd'.Guy Callawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237807931893298891noreply@blogger.com
