I remember this movie, but probably not too many other people do. Jeff Conaway was a country singer who was going to do a prison concert album like Johnny Cash did. Gary Sandy from WKRP in Cincinnati was a sidekick of his. Slim Pickens was his greedy manager. A couple of female prisoners kidnapped him in an escape from prison. They were hiding out in a Tennessee valley that was about to be flooded for a dam, and later there was kind of a showdown at a fairgrounds. I remember one of the female prisoners supposedly hot-wired a stolen police car, but I doubt that was really possible, because it had a steering column ignition switch. One thing in this movie: a police car somehow got a 55-gallon drum stuck underneath the middle of it, and it was driving with the drum under it.

I actually remember this movie very well. It was a childhood favourite. We had recorded it from evening TV and Buddy Walker (Jeff Conaway RIP) had a very cool dark green 1969 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors. He was running a "spaghetti in a bag" franchise with his manager Ross Common. There was also a funny scene involving a gas station 'gas and dash' and the codgy/hard of hearing owner asks the disgruntled mechanic who that was that just stormed off. "The Buddy Walker gang" - to which the boss replied "Hungapang?! Earl, I have had it with you. You're fired!" The intro song to this movie was EXCELLENT and I have been trying for years to find a copy of it, to no avail. It was a fun action B movie that had some famous actors in it but seems very few people (except the two commenters above) seem to remember it. I have never seen a commercial copy available on VHS or DVD or even anything on youtube. I could probably convert the thing to DVD if someone had of recorded it back in the day and still has the tape. Anyone know how I could view this movie or at least get audio of the intro theme song? Please get in touch with me or consider posting on Youtube.
