I was amazed last night when it showed up on AMC. What a cast! What a subject! Martin Sheen played a scarily convincing street punk. A precursor to "Badlands", and for that matter to Charlie's "Boys Next Door" and Emilio's "Repo Man" twenty years later. Attitude definitely runs in that family! There's no doubt this film gave birth to the "Death Wish" films, and many other action movies (imagine the same scenario with Steven Segal, only the movie wouldn't last longer that the time it would take for Steven to waste the two punks with his bare hands).
How come I never heard of this movie before? Why isn't this a cult classic? You might say it's the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" of the 60's, with all the as-yet undiscovered talent.
