I know our favorite tough guy didn't direct this film, but you have to wonder if perhaps he was spoofing his tough guy rolls in this movie. After DIRTY HARRY, MAGNUM FORCE, and some others where he takes zero crap from anybody, he has this refreshing little thing about a bare-knuckle fighter that is really a fun little ride. He's still tough old Clint, but with a better sense of humor. It's been said before, Clyde (the ape) practically steals Clint's thunder, and they play off each other very well. (How many guys would have the gumption to ride around the highway with an ape?) That motorcycle gang is a real hoot. Sondra Locke is his love interest. She can't sing worth a tinker's damn in this movie, but she improves in the sequel. Another movie where you just sit back, enjoy the ride, and watch Clint kick ass and take names, as usual. 7 out of 10.
