18 June 2023
Whom it may concern on the seventies all studios were technically bankrupt, so TV demands and sponsored to make several fine pictures to fill out their program schedule due the studio decreased to the utmost their productions, so this is a small explanation why countless TV movies in this period of time.

This picture concerns a revenge, when Michael McCord (Martin Sheen) together his newest brother a former marines passing through for Clarksburg in a hurry to reach in time at base were run off in the dangerous curve at road leading to the death his beloved brother in the cliff, actually the psycho local Sheriff Roy Childress made it deliberately due in recent past your whole family were killed at Clarksburg avenue by car accident and the perpetrator running away and never was recognized, only by this the bruised Sheriff and the Judge J. A. Hooker became his accomplice to apply heavy fines at local traffic or in the road for lowest speed to raise their salaries over those unwarned visitors or just crossing the city.

After a while come up McCord in a stylized black flaming 1934 Ford Coupe with a powerful adapted inside aiming for if was an accident or made in purpose, after many tries to reach at deadly curve near 100 miles per hours, all them became thwarted in so sharp turn, although the smart Sheriff already knows why McCord is there, hard to foresee if California Kid could be reach commercially on Brazil, due it was almost unknown having the ratings at IMDB as a source of popularity, in America it was already released in Blu-Ray, a fine movie that I saw at my wanders years when I'd already had catch by the seventh art many years before.

The scoundrel Vic Morrow fits perfect to the role, yes that one who had a nerve to left to his daughter Jennifer Jason Leigh meager 12 dollars of Vic's inheritance, previously which both had a falling out, aftermaths Jennifer changes his surname for good, without forget the still young and forthcoming star Nick Nolte in a small role

Thanks for reading.
