Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJim Brown insisted that someone as big or bigger than him be cast as the lead bad guy in the film in order to make his major confrontation with Glover at the end seem like a fair fight. This is why the hulking Ted Cassidy was cast as Glover.
- GoofsThere is no way a cement mixer truck would be left overnight in a prison, especially with cement in it. The disposal of the prison guard in the mixer is gruesome but very unrealistic.
- Alternate versionsUK pre-cert VHS on MGM, catalogue number UMV 10444, is censored for violence. Possibly pre-cut by MGM, nervous of then-brewing Video Nasty rumpus. Strangely, the cassette offers a running time of 97 minutes, six minutes longer than the accepted duration for this film.

Featured review
functional B
A robbery crew steals drugs and money from criminals. Curtis X. Hook (Jim Brown) beats his comrades to the double-cross and is the final survivor. He dumps the drugs and hides the money in an abandoned dock. He gets locked in prison and has to deal with many different sides. It's black against white. Others want him to work for them. Everyone who knows about the money wants it.
I'm not sure if this is considered blaxploitation. It's produced by Gene Corman, brother of B-movie legend Roger Corman. Blaxploitation is intended for a black audience. This is a more general B-movie. Legendary football player Jim Brown is not that great as an actor. He has some natural charisma and his size gives him just enough command. His amiability makes him a functional lead. This is undeniably a B-movie and it's a functional one.
