David Carradine and Kate Jackson spend most of their time peering over dashboards and revving up outboard motors in this extended chase film about moonshiners engaged in a frantic racing contest. Carradine is Harley Thomas, a Florida moonshiner who challenges Ralph Junior (Roger C. Carmel), the father of his girlfriend Nancy Sue Hunnicutt (Kate Jackson), to a competition to determine who can produce the most moonshine. Ralph Junior takes up the challenge and the two adversaries struggle to get the brew from their home stills to thirsty patrons without the cops or the mob trying to confiscate the firewater. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Miguel C.

Your typical 70s drive-in B-movie fare. A Roger Corman action-comedy set in the swamps of Florida. You'll probably recognize many of the actors here. Though they didn't do a great job they did play their parts to heart. You will get an earful of colorful language but keep in mind that the whole movie ridicules bigotry and criminals. Strangely enough many scenes feel as they could've been filmed by Disney. The car chases are raw and thrilling. And there's an airboat chase that's fun to watch. See this if you're a fan of Florida, chase scenes, and the 1970s. But not if you have "delicate sensibilities".

The synopsis by Paul is totally wrong. Try actually watching the movie next time. Or at least copy the text off the dvd case.
