Richard C. Sarafian directs Gary Busey, Yaphet Kotto and Denise Galik in this cheap actioner based on the song from Rocky.

Busey is the ex con / Vietnam vet who takes down a biker gang. The tone of this is all over the shop. The heartless, darkest moments of pure exploitation like Mad Max meets the finale of a The A-Team episode. Sarafian is a good director of VHS action and knows how to frame his villain. Busey is a little too intense for a vanilla lead but my God I love him. A pass.
