Clevercell Very disappointing...

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Scott LeBrun Roger Corman and 1970s era New World strike again with this engaging formula hicksploitation action flick. Susan Howard ('Dallas'), Claudia Jennings ("Gator Bait"), and Maureen McCormick ('The Brady Bunch') play the Hammer sisters, whose moonshiner father (Fred Foresman) is killed by goons representing a big time sleazy criminal (William Conrad, 'Jake and the Fatman'). The gals are as tough and sassy as they are sexy, and prove to be formidable adversaries, especially when they team up with J.B. Johnson (John Saxon), a racing enthusiast and ace delivery man."Moonshine County Express" doesn't set out to reinvent the wheel, and shows that movies of this ilk do deliver the goods by scrupulously following a formula. The vehicular action is first rate, there are mild doses of sex (there's a hilarious "fishing" scene), and the movie is violent without ever getting particularly gory. It's all played with humour and panache, thanks to screenwriters Hugh Smith & Daniel Ansley, and director Gus Trikonis ("Nashville Girl", "The Evil"). What truly brings it to life is the work of a colourful and interesting cast. Saxon is an amiable hero (if maybe a tad too old for his role), Howard a strong and independent minded heroine, and Conrad is an effective bad guy. He's somewhat blustery, but Conrad never makes him a one-dimensional cartoon. Morgan Woodward ("Cool Hand Luke") is also a good villain, playing Conrads' primary thug. If you're a fan of Jennings, be aware that she doesn't get that much to do. McCormick is cute as the youngest of the gals. The cast is rounded out by other familiar faces like Jeff Corey ("In Cold Blood"), Dub Taylor ("The Wild Bunch"), Albert Salmi ("Empire of the Ants"), Len Lesser ('Seinfeld'), the lovely Candice Rialson ("Hollywood Boulevard") as a town floozy, and E.J. Andre ("Magic").Set to an irresistible bluegrass music score by Fred Werner, and shot by legendary B movie D.P. Gary Graver, this is a fun example of its genre, guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face.Eight out of 10.

trashgang This is directed by Gus Trikonis, well known for directing so many series. This flick here is still unavailable on DVD and is only to catch on NTSC ex-rental VHS. It's made in an era were car chasing was the big thing and coppers were the stupid ones. Smokey And The Bandit (1977) was also a perfect example and the series The Dukes Of Hazard (1979) also picked in on that success.But it's strange that a flick with this cast and a good director still is collector to find. It's also one of those many flicks that involved John Saxon and is still unreleased on DVD. Further it also has William Conrad famous from Jake And The Fatman series as main lead. Claudia Jennings is also here to see and we all know how sadly see died two years later. Too many faces to recognize in this well made flick.If you like coppers hunting fast cars and flicks about rednecks than this is surely one to pick up. Don't be mislead by the fact that it was said that the nudity had to left out, it do has one shower scene but it was told about the nudity because many females here in this flick were known to go nude in their flicks.

lazarillo After their moonshiner "pa" is killed by a rival bootlegging outfit, three sexy sisters (Susan Howard, Claudia Jennings, and Maureen McCormick) band together to continue his business, which quickly brings them into conflict with same group of thugs. So they team up with a local good 'ole boy and stock-car driver/rum-runner (Jon Saxon) to fight back.This is yet another Roger Corman produced "hicksploitation" film from the 1970's, but actually a pretty good one (despite its PG rating). Most people today will probably seek it out to see Maureen "Marcia Brady" McCormick, but I personally find it more interesting in that it features two of my favorite 1970's drive-in queens, Claudia Jennings and Candice Rialson. The PG-rating, of course, precludes both actresses' usual gratuitous nude scenes, but Jennings was actually a genuinely talented actress (a veritable Meryl Streep for someone who was once a Playboy Playmate) and she's pretty good here as the feisty, shotgun-totin' middle sister. Rialson has a smaller role as the local tart, but she's just sexy as hell even with her clothes on. The main stars though are Jon Saxon and Susan Howard, both of whom are a little too old for these kind of roles (Saxon especially), but they're both pretty good (again Saxon especially). There's also some very decent character actors in the cast including Dub Taylor as the girls' drunken and treacherous uncle and Les "Uncle Leo" Lesser as a very near-sighted store owner. Which, of course, brings us to Marcia, I mean Maureen McCormick. She's definitely cute and appealing as youngest, animal-loving sister, and the scene were she gets bound to a column and (very mildly) tortured by the bad guys might fulfill some people's more perverted "Brady Bunch"-related fantasies, but others might prefer her later film "Texas Lightning" where she has nude scenes (sort of). She does basically hold her here as an actress against thespians a little more talented than Robert Reed, Florence Henderson or Ann B. Davis.This movie certainly has an interesting cast, and I found it to overall be a pretty decent flick.

Mike K. i thought this was a pretty enjoyable film.3 pretty country sisters discover their murdered fathers moonshine stash and decide to cash in.they have to battle local crooks who don't want the competition.not too much plot(this ain't the godfather!) but Maureen McCormick aka Marcia Brady is absolutely beautiful and very sexy as the wild daughter in this seldom seen and hard to find film.
