Viewing Notes
Joe Don Baker may be (and is) a total badass but even he can’t elevate this film where precisely 2 things happen across the course of the entire running time. Jim Kelly appears halfway through and any hope of him spicing things up is quickly extinguished. A true shame, based on pedigree this should have been at least 100 times better. Maybe 1000.
