Editorial Review: Description: Robert Blake "displays a superabundance of magnetism and machismo" (Cue) as a good cop on the ultimate bad bike in this "powerful" (Boxoffice) film featuring "striking action sequences"(Leonard Maltin) and a "bravura rock score" (Los Angeles Times). Set against the breathtaking visuals of Monument Valley, this mesmerizing film is your ticket to open-road excitement!The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Blake) wants is to become a detectiveto wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes on the case and proves his stuff! But as soon as he's promoted, the corruption he must tolerate makes the Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, where he makes another shocking discovery - one that could cost him his life! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bad movie, great cinematography!I had seen parts of this before, but watched the whole thing through today. I must say, as great as parts of this film are, it nevertheless disappoints on many crucial levels. The acting, (while largely cheesy) is enjoyable in a pic like this. I do enjoy Robert Blake's performance though, even though Detective Harvey is WAAAY over the top!! (the coroner guy was very good also). I definitely see a link to "Easy Rider", and indeed, both films represent a (then) new wave of modern western, even ...

Determined and not-so-bright, Blake is perfectly believable as a half-wit over his head. The murder plot is not so interesting, but the soundtrack, scenic shots of the American Southwest and a superb job by Blake make it all worth a look. A must for fans of 70's cinema. Rating: - Bob ZemcoI saw this movie as a kid and later when it was released on VHS picked up a copy of it. The movie is visually impressive and its style is more like what you would see years later in music videos. Robert Blake is excellent in this quirky yet dark story about a pint sized motorcycle cop whose ambition sees him investigating a murder case. Hippies, pigs, nymphos and detectives with erectile dysfunction are abound. I liked the movie and just remember it as being something different and ... Read More Rating: - not seen them yet ! I have not recieved this video or the Shooter video as write. When I tracked them they are still in transit. According to shipping schedules I should of recieved them a week ago. Rating:  - Great old time cop movieThis is one of my husbands favorites. And not to let him know, I love it too. You have to watch it to the end, paying special attention to the ending to understand it all, but a great film. Browse for similar items by category:
