Quotes
Assistant D.A. Jonas: Crowder? That bum? That ex-cop?
District Att'y Virgil Riley: Jonas, just because his methods are unorthodox, that didn't make him a bad cop.
Assistant D.A. Jonas: Wherever he goes there's always trouble and a few dead bodies left behind. Shoot first and and ask questions later. He's like a page out of the Old West.
District Att'y Virgil Riley: You're right. But you've just described the one man who can get Finley here alive - Jesse Crowder.

Jesse Crowder as his worst!

Much as I am a Fred Williamson fan, this is the a very poor man's action film. Barely played as a main feature in Los Angeles area (mostly second feature runs with no ads), this movie has Jesse Crowder assigned to protect an overweight accountant across the state line to testify against a mobster. What could've been a blazing non-stop action films, this film takes the low ride and become very boring fast. The movie poster promised a top of the train running chase sequence which wasn't in the film. In fact, the video box claims he has to protect a girl (!). I am suprised Williamson didn't get any name stars to appear in this film, for most of his past works do have familar character actors (maybe they all turned it down!). The film is so non-budget that when Crowder's chauffer get out of car to open the door for Crowder, it was a two door car and not a limo (!). I love the Jesse Crowder series and Fred Williamson will always be a icon of the 70's action scene, and it's too bad I didn't enjoy this one.
