This road runner isn't just a harmless solo running bird never bothering anyone. He's got a mission, and that is to be paid or continue to kill. As we first see Paul Koslo, he shoots two young people necking in their car, simply because. A police station is his next target where his crossbow impales several officers, followed by his demands to get $1 million to stop his reign of terror. Dressed in native American clothing as well as painted up, he has the amazing talent to escape the most intense situations. A small town parade leads to a chase where the law seems to be doing his work for him, resulting in deadly car crashes that he wasn't even responsible for.
With a cast led by Oliver Reed, James Mitchum and Stuart Whitman, this action thriller is enjoyable in spite of its disturbing story. I actually found myself laughing and deciding that it was worth sitting through when Reed, playing a very determined federal officer, grabs a microphone out of the hand of ambitious young reporter Deborah Raffin and speeds off. You already know going into films like this pretty much how they are going to win, but the important thing is that they keep your interest which this does succeed in doing. One of the things about it though that is confusing is that it seems to have three titles, one of which has been used as a generic title for several other films, pretty much losing this in the shuffle.
