...bank robbery that opens the film is staged and executed with vigorous economy; no flash, just straight, brutal action. There is also a spectacular and funny showdown at the end between a hired killer (Joe Don Baker) driving a car and Charley behind the controls of a crop duster. As the car and the plane bump, sideswipe and crash into one another, the scene becomes almost a parody of the recent excesses of the chase that were encouraged by The French Connection...
