Make the terrorist watch this movie at Gitmo, if you want them to confess real quick, or you just want to torture them real bad for an 90 minutes.

This was the first historicalAustrailian movie I've seen. It occurred around the time of the civil war in the US. Interesting parallels between attitudes of Austrailians and attitudes of white Americans during a similar time period. Brutal, harsh, but historically thught provoking

Not too sure how to take this movie. Hopper did a good rendition and was believable as a mad dog 'anarchist'. I guess all in all it was a fairly good depiction of them there days...

This film was a real battle to get through, took me two days.
I can only say it might of been ok if someone would have
killed mad dog at the beginning, say the first 4 minutes.
Speaking of dogs, the two white dogs were the best part
of the film, go figure.

Troma had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of this film. At all. They merely picked up the American distribution rights to the film in '76 cause Hopper's career was in the toilet (this was right before it turned around with Apocolypse Now in '79) so they got it at a crazy low price. Now, as for the film itself, personally, I view it as one of the seminal westerns of the 1960's/70's. Superior to even Jodorwsky's El Topo, the first "Midnight Movie", from 1970. Dennis Hopper continues his streak of amazing performances (after this is Tracks, working with BBS' Bert Schneider and director Henry Jaglom again after their first collaboration with Easy Rider in '69) and he is the glue that makes the piece soar. I urge those of you who dig Hopper's acting to check out the films he's directed beyond Easy Rider, specifically The Last Movie from 1971and 1980's Out of the Blue.

Did none of you notice that this is a Troma film? The makeup is supposed to be bad. The script is supposed to be worse...

Although I love period films, it was a real struggle to get through this film. I will say that Dennis Hopper did a decent job despite the script and plot development that were awful. If you want a period story of conviction and revenge done right, watch the Count of Monte Cristo. This was a waste of time!
