Yes, how could I missed it? It is a pure seventies actionner, car chase flick, starring Joe Don Baker, who also worked with Earl Bellamy the director for the last film of the WALKING TALL trilogy, which two first films were made by Phil Karlson. This is not a masterpiece, only an entertaining, fast paced yarn, inspired by SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, produced the very same year. Car chase film. Yes, it is fun, with wrecked police - or not - cars galore. No matter the plot, and also characters. Looks pretty like a tV movie but, I repeat, starring the likes of Joe Don Baker and Richard Jaeckel, Bob Loggia, how could I be deceived? If you crave for the late seventies atmosphere, this flick is for you. Sorry for the mistake above; Joe Don Baker did not play in Earl Bellamy's WALKING TALL PART 2, Bo Svenson did it, and that's the reason why I have always confounded them both: Svenson and Baker; same heavy tough set and lead characters in WALKING TALL films. But I will tell about it later, in another review.
