Bloody Trail (1972) User Reviews

A movie so strange it's a keeper .......

[merklekranz · 5/10 · 21 February 2017]

I'll admit to having seen a lot of ultra strange films, but "Bloody Trail" is almost in a bizarre class all it's own. Essentially the 91 minutes is divided into three parts. Part #1 involves the hero, played by Hagen Smith, as a Yankee stumbling onto a Southern stereotype cabin shortly after the Civil War has ended. He is pursued and seduced by the hillbilly's attractive young wife. After some bed hammering with a couple chickens roosting on the foot board, the Yankee departs on a passing train. Part #2 involves the only name actor in the film, Rance Howard, who along with his missing tooth buddy, torture Smith, and a leap from the moving train is his only escape. This brings us to part #3, which is without doubt about as bizarre as things can get. Nursed back from certain death by a silent Black woman, they are then attacked and pursued by spear chucking African warriors, before the surprising and totally "out of left field" ending. The movie has liberal doses of the"N"word, the "F" word, nudity, including full frontal, and intertwined with all this strangeness are numerous montages of Civil War battles. Amazing! - MERK

Also know as "White Justice"

[ES-III · 26 May 2003]

This film was also packaged as "White Justice" in the '70s or '80s by an anonymous company with the tag-line "After the horror of war comes the violence of peace." Back-cover synopsis: "Following the Civil War, a young Union officer travels to Texas to find a new life. Badly wounded while escaping two drunk ex-Confederate soldiers, he is nursed back to health by a mysterious black girl. Then, they are attacker by a hostile band of escaped African slaves who chase them through the desert until they are saved by an unusual discovery."

It's a nice bed.

Bloody trail has a low rating but it really is a movie seen to be believed. The movie is based after the Civil War. It does have a few f words , nudity and violence. The main character wanders around the south, he porks some guys wife, gets into a fight on a moving train, and meets a slave who apparently is part of an African tribe but this is America. The reason why I'm recommending this is because you have to see this movie to believe it.

If you notice one of the bandits from the train was in a few dirty harry movies my favorite scene is when he's pumping on the woman from the farm decided that he hears the train decided to leave her , all the while her dumbass old man took off to smoke tobacco with a neighbor. Crazy.
