"Terror on Wheels" makes you wonder if Anthony Petrocelli is insane. After all, the trail for a murder leads to a biker gang and Petrocelli repeatedly antagonizes them...to the point of stupidity. First, he confronts them at a funeral in the middle of the desert where the only witnesses are the gang members. Second, after they attack Petrocelli's wife to send him a message to back off, Petrocelli confronts the entire gang in town and has a fist fight with the leader. Are these the behaviors of ANY lawyer on planet Earth?? Nope...just a crazy and poorly written TV lawyer.
While I have enjoyed watching most of the "Petrocelli" episodes lately, a few of the episodes are pretty dopey...including this one. Petrocelli taking on a gang repeatedly?! This really was just a lot of macho theatrics...and got in the way of the story.
As for the story, a father (John Colicos) shows even less restraint than Petrocelli and runs around town with a loaded gun threatening to kill one of the motorcycle gang members. When the guy is killed and the father is found semi-conscious next to him, it's no surprise that the father is arrested for murder.
Overall, it's a show that really wasn't well written and made little sense. None at all.
