Ok so this flick isn't Walking Tall, heck it even isn't Black Belt Jones. But what it is it's entertaining not to mention hysterical. Rockne Tarkington in the title role although convincing is to stiff and stoic, where Fred Williamson would have torn this part up and had fun with it. The hot and sexy Carol Speed as Samson's love interest is always a pleasure to look at. And the main reason to see this flick is the great and awesome William Smith as the evil Johnny Nappa. Anytime Smith is on screen he raises the stakes. The ending although it still works is kind of lame and is a shame considering wasting William Smith's talents, it makes you wish ole Fred Williamson was there to goose it up for Smith.
