Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Jim McLennan – ★★☆☆☆
   “The gratuitous nudity that would be expected of this type of exploitation film was a disappointment. The storyline is basic, and the characters lack depth. Not the best example of the genre.”
2. Alexismhaas – ★★★☆☆
   “When I randomly chose to watch this on Tubi, I had no idea what I’d found. It took me all of 10 minutes to discover that this 1970 flick could easily be the inspiration for the ‘Dukes of Hazzard.’ There’s a few adjustments, but the basic idea is the same.”
3. Carroll Jenkins – ★★★☆☆
   “A classic example of biker exploitation cinema. The performances are over-the-top, and the plot is predictable, but it’s a fun ride if you’re in the mood for some vintage grindhouse action.”
