- GoofsThe lead biker's hands were empty when he got into the camper for his joyride. No way he could have had the sawed-off shotgun with him that he fired when he got out.

- Alternate versionsThe 1988 UK video was cut by 1 min 14 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of throwing stars and to edit the beating of a man in a tunnel, a man being dragged behind a motorbike and shots of neck wounds. The DVD features the same cut print.

Featured review
More Gluteus Maximus kicking with The Hammer!
The ever watchable Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson headlines in this action outing that owes more than just a little to the Sylvester Stallone hit Cobra.
The plot for instance is directly stolen - erm, I mean borrowed from the aforementioned Hollywood flick and involves a group of disillusioned social misfits led by Karl Landgren (Apocalypse Mercenaries/Demons 2) who are terrorising the city with their decidedly antisocial behaviour. During one attack however, a sexy female photographer (the lovely Eva Grimaldi) manages to snap a few shots of our naughty boy in the act as it were. She manages to escape with her life but subsequently finds herself on the receiving end of the gangs unwanted attention as they desperately hunt her down in order to reclaim the evidence she has of them (oh and to kill her of course!)
Where is our main man the Hammer during all this? Well, as it turns out he is given the assignment to protect our damsel in distress. Needless to say - any film with Fred Williamson in it always features a fair quota of ass kicking and this is no exception, although it has to be said that the action isn't handled with nearly as much enthusiasm by the director as it could and indeed should have which is a real shame.
Nonetheless, the film remains at least enjoyable throughout and doesn't outstay it's welcome with it's relatively short running time.
Followed by three sequels (although the final one barely features Williamson in it!)
