Very entertaining!!!

I may be a sucker for "B" movies, but there are a lot of good ones out there! This one is pre-"First Blood", but has the same, basic theme. Dirk Benedict stars as a Vietnam vet (what's with the raw hamburger?) who wanders into some unknown Southern town & gets harassed by some of the locals. Linda Blair (aka the possessed girl from "The Exorcist") is the widow of a Vietnam vet who befriends him. A lot of familiar faces in this--actors from many other movies who you may recognize. A very entertaining flick, in a not-too-serious way. It sort of has a "Dukes of Hazzard" feel to it. I can remember watching it as a 10-year old and thinking it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen at that time! It is no longer in my Top 25, but still an entertaining film.
