Review:
Richard Rush — best known for The Stunt Man (1980), though he also helmed GFTFF titles Hells Angels on Wheels (1967), Psych-Out (1968), and Getting Straight (1970) — directed this exploitation film which holds the distinction of being selected for the First Quentin Tarantino Film Festival (held in Austin, Texas in 1996). There is very little to it other than numerous confrontations between obnoxious bikers and Native Americans who live in a small town run by a corrupt businessman (Mel Berger).

As described in the New York Times’ review, “The movie is one continuous uproar of unmuffled motors and head-cracking and emphasized cruelty from one and to another.”

Robert Walker, Jr. — perhaps best known by GFTFF fans for his supporting performance as an explosives expert in The War Wagon (1967) — plays a central Native American role:

… and Joanna Frank has quite a bit of screentime as his sister, pursued by Adam Roarke’s Kisum.

Note: Viewers may enjoy spotting Penny Marshall in her screen debut, eight years before she achieved lasting television fame in “Laverne and Shirley.”
