The Farmer (1977)
Kyle Martin returns as a silver star hero, but realizes running a one man farm is not profitable, and the bank wants to foreclose, despite returning as a hero. Then a gambler Johnny has a car accident near his farm, in which Kyle saves his life, in which Johnny offers him 1,5000 dollars, which still isn't enough to save the farm. Then when Johnny past-post on a horse race for over $50,000, angering local mobster Passini as he and his three henchmen kills Johnny's bodyguard and then blinds Johnny's eyes with acid to "make a example out of him", Johnny asks his girl Betty to ask Kyle to kill Prassini and his men one by one for $50,000, the money he needs to save his farm, which sets the path for revenge.

    • Trivia
      Due to injuries sustained in an accident during the production of this movie, George Memmoli had to decline the part of the disturbed passenger in Taxi Driver (1976) that was ultimately played by the film's director, Martin Scorsese. According to Scorsese, the injuries contributed to Memmoli's death in 1985.

    The Search For The Farmer (Not a Review)
    Ah yes. The Farmer. Possibly the most infamous film ever made, since to this day, the only home media was a limited edition blu-ray. The trailers say it's as important as American Dream explotation drama films like Taxi Driver, Easy Rider, and Five Easy Pieces. I will find this film. I will find the reason why they never distributed it on home media. I shall hunt for this movie. I will see whether it's as good as those three, or on par with something like Jaws: The Revenge. And When I do manage to find it, I shall share it to the entire world. I will begin by finding an original 35mm print. The rest is my story.

    Edit: Never mind, it is on Tubi.
