I don't have a ton to say about this cuz the transfer was so bad that it was hard to freakin' watch. I'm sure it was a crap movie, but it was made even worse by such an awful transfer. It looked like the whole movie was shot day for night. But it wasn't. I don't think any of it was.
The copy I have looked incredibly purple with yellow accents. Contrast was very high. Lots of darkness. We had to adjust the brightness on the TV to 100% in order to make it even somewhat viewable. Sometimes you didn't know if it was a dude or a chick on screen. That can get awkward. And you weren't sure who was talking.
The funny part about the overall darkness and heightened contrast made it look like it was an art house flick. An unintentional Bergman shot in Texas with shit actors.
It's a 1971 biker flick, so no surprises on the content. Cops vs bikers with a twist ending, like many of them have. It's never over til the fat lady sings. You learn that quick when you've seen enough biker flicks of this vintage. The unique flavor for this particular biker flick is the inclusion of a nun-on-the-run, and a scene where the crooked cops bury some bikers up to their necks in sand and leave them for dead in the desert.
Tippy Walker played the nun. She was pretty freakin hot in this flick.
