    My favorite MST3K episode.

    eck out the MST3K version. You kids can have all that Chuck Norris shit. John Saxon is the real man in the real world.

    "Hot--merging--action!!" Joe Don Baker is actually charismatic enough, and a decent actor, but this movie plays the slob-turned-cop to the hilt, the groovy sex machine who likes Schlitz, hookers, n' gravy. This movie is a kind of repository for every 70's cop movie cliche imagi...( read more)nable. Another casualty of MST3K, lampooned on the last episode featuring creator Joel Hodgson. I am giving it five stars because of the MST3K in this case, not for the film on its own.

    A Dirty Harry rip-off with a lead actor who plays the character so unsympathetic you have to laugh. Mitchell is a fat, boozy, sleepy cop who is a womanizer (yeah right) and somehow solves all of his cases. Actually he just wanders into them more than actually using his brain. If ...( read more)you must watch this movie watch the MST3k version.

    I have only seen the MST3K version of this and I am glad- the movie itself is horrendous! The lead character is unlikeable, to where you wonder how he even became a cop in the first place, and the scene cuts make no sense. I was surprised to see John Saxon in it (from Bruce Lee...( read more)'s Enter The Dragon).
    I would recc'd not watching this except the MST3K version- otherwise, you will be bored and confused to the point where you probably couldn't finish this.
    This movie, a 1 star. MST3k, 4!

    The really sad part is that this could have been a halfway decent movie.
