Meets the Warriors? Or something along those lines. But you know you're watching a low budget 70s or 80s movie when you can tell they didn't have any permits to shoot whereever they put a camera and some actors. If you've seen a few you'll know what I mean, if not just listen to the audio commentaries of some of those movies.

And don't get me wrong, while this obviously is (was) against the law, it makes the movie endearing (not to mention that some will cherish the rebellious nature of it all). Having said all that, the story is not really serving us anything new. But the actors involved really give it their all - and you have quite some heavyweights in here. I watched this a couple of days after Robert Foster passed away (right after El Camino too sort of). His screen presence is quite something to behold. Add to that all the other actors (including the "Maniac" himself and Fred Williamson) ... a raw gem with a lot flaws then. Enjoy it for what it is
