Viewing Notes
Crazy how much of this movie I recalled because I watched it so many times as a kid. Probably haven’t watched this in 30+ years but remembered nearly every beat of the story. Still a banger and Russell is great. Fun cast. Al Lewis is so good in a small role as the judge.

It was the only movie that played at Alamo’s Russellmania that I hadn’t previously seen. I keep meaning to pick up the 4K of this.
