Viewing Notes
Thanks to @bobfreelander’s tweet about Defiance (1980), I was able to view this OOP film via Hulu (at imdb). It features one of my favorite 70s/80s actors Jan-Michael Vincent in a fairly decent revenge flick. The final showdown between the evil gang “The Souls” and Vincent is terrific and as predictable as it gets. Also features Danny Aiello, Art Carney and a much younger Tony Sirico. Fun watch.
