Unlike most B movies that deal with urban vigilante justice themes, "Street Corner Justice" illustrates it in a more realistic manner, showing that vigilante practices can create a whole bunch of problems. That was interesting, certainly more interesting than the rest of the movie. The movie does indeed have a once in a lifetime B movie cast (Marc Singer, Bryan Cranston, Steve Railsback, Soon Teck Oh, "Tiny" Lister Jr., and Clint Howard), but none of these actors come across very well. They either underact or overact, and it doesn't help that some of their dialogue is so poorly recorded that it's hard to make out at times. Singer comes off the worst, in part because his role is so bland and reluctant to get involved, not deciding to help the residents of his neighborhood until more than half the movie has passed. In fact, the story itself is also slow-moving, and severely lacks scenes that could be safely labelled "action sequences". It doesn't help that the movie's low budget is often very evident (check the pathetic sets passing for hospitals or police stations interiors), as well as the fact that there are a significant number of ineptly edited sequences that suggest the production couldn't afford to film every bit of the script. Why someone thought this was worthy to re-release on DVD, I cannot say.
