Down and dirty little drive-in meller

I'd never heard of this film, but happened to be reading "Flesh Gordon" star Jason Williams' memoir (meh) and noticed that he had made this film during the same era. It was actually shot well before "Flesh" got released in 1974, but just as that movie was delayed a long time by budgetary/special effects issues, this one was delayed even longer--several years, even--due to disputes between business partners. When it finally did get a theatrical release, it was minuscule, just a a couple Texas drive-ins or something.Anyway, among all the mostly boring rural car (or motorcycle) chase movies released to grindhouses and drive-ins in the 1970s, this is above-average, despite being a dirt-cheap production. It's just a pretty tight thriller that commits immediately to being nasty-our longhaired (anti)heroes pick up a load of cocaine dropped by helicopter in the desert, and very soon face a phalanx of police cars. It turns out one of the guys (Williams' character Ray) is a full-on remorseless psycho who has no hesitation in blowing all the lawmen away. This somehow comes as a surprise to his partner/BFF Alex played by Bill Osco, who was a producer on "Flesh" and many other exploitation movies. Nonetheless the duo stick together, determined to reach their designated buyer and collect a big payout.The problem isn't just that now presumably every law officer within 200 hundred miles is looking for them, necessitating frequent changes of cars. The problem is also that in acquiring those cars, plus committing a few robberies en route, they gain the attention of various unlucky witnesses whom Ray is all too happy to terminate. This doesn't sit well with Alex, particularly once they gain a hostage in the form of Karen (Diane Keller). She is understandably terrified-both she and Alex soon realize that Ray has no intention of letting her live, even if their mission is otherwise accomplished. And they do get pretty damn close to accomplishing that mission, with things really sparking in the last lap when the trio meet up with another threesome: The very droll coke buyer (Michael D. Collins) and his two stoned-AF hippie-chick mammas (Donna Stubbert, Judy Ross).This seems to have been the sole movie for several performers here-apparently the production recruited from southwestern theater groups on location. Those last three named are very entertaining, though god only knows if they were inspired actors or just "playing themselves" through a thick pot haze. The handsome, all-American-surfer-looking Williams is good playing against type as a vicious bully; Osco and Keller are okay.Still, a general lack of professional-grade polish to the cast and filmmaking actually works in the movie's favor, lending it a certain effectively sleazy edginess reminiscent of other low-budget wonders like "The Sadist." The grungy backroads atmosphere and fairly tight pacing (though yes we're still talking a circa 1973 sense of editorial pace) punch things across, even if the staging of violence and action sequences is adequate rather than especially vivid or stylish. There's a certain nihilism to it that is compelling-without being pretentious about it, the movie makes no bones about the fact that no one here is likely to make it out alive.

Went down smooth

Movie flowed smoothly along and held your attention to the screen. Action at a high level, characters interesting enough, a basic kind of story you can relate to (Get away! Get the mess over with, get the money). There is one fully degenerate character and another partly-degenerate character. A girl/hostage is along for the ride (not a very impressive actress). Outdoor scenery is a plus. And you meet this hippie cat who lives out in the middle of nowhere in a tapestry cocoon w/ 2 spaced-out hippie chicks. He's a pretty cool cat. There's enough shooting in this film to keep you happy.
