Normally I am a huge fan of low-budget 70s nonsense, but this hasn't aged well, in my view.
Terrible script, even worse acting and - despite major contributions from the legendary Bobby Hart - a *very* irritating soundtrack. After the Monkees and his many other successes, one does have to wonder what led him to this low point? The occasional bursts of jaunty, sub-Dukes-of-Hazzard music were I'm sure supposed to indicate that the truck chases were exciting and/or humorous, despite being neither. Furthermore, I guess that the frequent toplessness would have been some kind of draw in the pre-internet days, but not today. That kind of audience would be much better off with Deathstalker and its ilk, I think.
Finally, as I was waiting for it to end, I kept wondering why anyone would make this kind of thing so *long*? And then I found out it was only 80 minutes. It felt much longer.
Don't waste your time.
