You know, I’m not sure what did more damage to L.A. in this flick: the earthquake, or the scenery chewing done by the majority of the cast. The levels on the Richter Scale were about even, after all, making it too close to call.

All Hell Breaks Loose in God’s Country! (May, 1976)

 

 

 

 

 
Vigilante Force is kinda like The Magnificent Seven gone horribly, horribly wrong. Ya see, when a small town finally gets fed up with the lawless, rowdy roughnecks of Mr. Big’s oil refinery, they turn to a group of Vietnam vets to bust some heads and restore order. Unfortunately, in an Orwellian twist, these vigilantes turn out to be just as bad — if not worse, than the Cracker Taliban. Will this vicious cycle ever end? Not without a few explosions it won’t. And remember, don’t ever bring a gun to a bazooka fight.
