Trivia:

Ray Dennis Steckler's original cut of "The Chooper" was only 60 minutes long. The film could not be distributed unless it was a minimum of 70 minutes, so Steckler went back and added 10 minutes of random footage from the rodeo.

Goofs:

Plot holes: The setting is a small house and shack in the middle of the desert, an open area with no hiding places, yet the Chooper is able to run around dressed entirely in black in the middle of broad daylight without being noticed.

Tacky Fun

It's so bad your sides will split everytime you watch it. Classic lines like "i told you not you go in there, and now look at you, you're dead" combined with rodeo footage that has NOTHING to do with the rest of film means for anyone who's seen it, this film is tops. Recommended with a capital laugh!
