Classic Charles Bronson bravado in Walter Hill’s directorial debut.
- Charles Bronson speaks softly and carries a big fist. Over the course of the film Bronson says barely 500 words.
- Chick Gandil, the gambler in the film, was also the name of one of the Black Sox players who conspired with gambler Arnold Rothstein to fix the 1919 World Series.
Chaney (Charles Bronson) bare knuckle boxes his way through New Orleans with Speed Weed (James Coburn) a fast talking promoter. It’s '30s grit with '70s bloody visceral poetry.
