And, we can't forget an appearance by Rip Torn (ep: Beastmaster) as a local county sherriff.

Wow, what a cast, huh?

So...

A John Milius story,

directed by Walter Hill,

With this cast?

This is peak 80s action with a layered story firing on all cylinders. A forgotten action masterpiece and an outstanding time overall.

... I wasn't able to find this streaming anywhere in the U.S.A
