Gathering up flicks from the 1970's to view,I decided to dig deep into my piles of unwatched DVD's. Buying the disc years ago at a library sale,I got set to at last switch the blade.
View on the film:
Roaming the mean streets with the gangs, co-writer/(with John Prizer and F.X. Maier) director Jack Hill & cinematographer Stephen M. Katz knife a grubby Drive-In atmosphere crackling in wide panning shots of The Jezebels dashing round ruined buildings, and urban warfare kicking off on crumbling streets which become filled with splatter.
Inspired by William Shakespeare's Othello, the writers flick animated one-liners off the knives of the gangs, but surprisingly place the emphasis on the juvenile delinquent drama from the inter-war disagreements within the gang,leading to the spikes of individual characteristic of the gang members being sanded down to a interchangeable switchblade.
