Dark as a panther's kiss, this top notch killer thriller pops all the right tubes and leaves you dancing like Sullivan. There's something about a good vigilante film to get the old blood pumping and your mouth salivating. When I watched it as a youth, it made me want to track down Barry Bargeld, the school bully, and grip his coat collar. I spoke to Christopher George shortly after he'd completed work on this picture; he was tired and emotionally drained. He didn't have a very good relationship with the film's director, James Glickenhaus. Glickenhaus kept getting Christopher's name round the wrong way and kept calling him George!
