Back then it was the follower of George Wallace; today Joe would follow Drumpf. - @Sunday, September 30, 2018 6:24 AM

Great trailer. Gives up virtually nothing with its snippets. Good movie. - @Saturday, September 15, 2018 10:19 PM

This film was influential. As others have noted, especially with All in the Family and Taxi Driver. Peter Boyle was really good in this. Its one of those low budget sleepers that used to arise rather frequently back then. It launched John Avildsen's career. - @Saturday, September 8, 2018 6:10 PM

Crappy trailer that doesn't make any sense, but the movie is excellent! One of the greatest culture movies ever made! Fine performances all around! I've seen this movie over and over and over again and have enjoyed it every time! I'm not a redneck but I am lower class-incomewise, that is. So how am I able to afford the Internet? Hey, this is America! Everyone and their monkey can afford the Internet! - @Tuesday, August 21, 2018 1:17 AM

I think this trailer and whoever edited it are brilliant! - @Tuesday, July 10, 2018 5:51 AM

The film that launched the late, great Peter Boyle's film career. He was a great actor who's played in some memorable characters in his many films. I especially enjoyed Mr. Boyle in his role as the monster in "Young Frankenstein" (1974). He was also hilarious as the father, "Frank Barrone", in "Everybody Loves Raymond." Such a wonderful talented man. - @Friday, May 25, 2018 11:12 PM

Does anybody think that this movie was the inspiration for All in the Family? - @Saturday, February 24, 2018 9:56 PM

Why has the clip of Joe’s “bar rant” been wiped off the internet - and edited out of any online full movie? - @Saturday, January 6, 2018 8:31 PM

I remember seeing this movie at the drive-in in Miami when it came out. I loved it, some crazy violence at the end. It reminded me of the level of Dirty Harry. - @Thursday, January 19, 2017 1:04 AM

A terrible trailer for a film with a terrific performance by Peter Boyle. He made an unbalanced right-wing sociopath seem believable. I think Taxi Driver owes a lot to this film. - @Monday, December 12, 2016 2:17 PM

damn. this movie was marketed really weirdly. - @Thursday, September 1, 2016 10:32 PM

Boyle pulls faces like Brando's, but still is very good. It's cool to see Dennis Patrick from Dark Shadows in such a big role. And I noticed Lloyd Kaufman was a production assistant on this film! - @Wednesday, December 12, 2012 1:52 AM

Peter Boyle was brilliant in everything he did though.... - @Tuesday, April 17, 2012 3:23 PM

@Woblesavvy Really? I stand corrected. I love Peter Boyle, brilliance. Thanks mun. - @Sunday, February 5, 2012 3:31 AM

@Thejbirdy Are you kidding? This is his BEST performance. The film was one of the most critically acclaimed & highest grossing movies of 1970. - @Sunday, February 5, 2012 2:50 AM

Not exactly one of Peter Boyle's masterpieces I'm gathering. - @Saturday, January 28, 2012 9:28 PM
