The car and train stunt in this -- fantastic!

The movie's alright, could've been a bit tighter in terms of scripting and laying out the "conspiracy" a little better, but man, that stunt with the train hitting Joe Don's big Impala boat had me rewinding several times, just to marvel at his stuntman literally jumping at the last nano-second and still getting engulfed in the fireball from the car. Beautiful work!

That truly was an amazing scene. Beautiful stunt work indeed. And this was way before CGI.

I wonder how the stunt man felt after the stunt since it looked like he had nothing protecting his face doubling for Joe Don Baker.

The stunt work in this film is truly impressive. If only the plot and script were as good. Nonetheless, this is a very entertaining drive-in fare, and Joe Don Baker always delivers the goods. 7/10 stars from me.

I agree; I was very impressed with the stunt work here.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
