Panique sur la ville

I live in Moab, Utah where this movie was filmed (along with many John Ford/Wayne westerns in the 40's-60's). This film is so stupid that it is funny and that is the way one needs to look at it. It is real fun for me because I grew up here and recognize, and have been at, every place a scene was filmed (except the jail LOL). It is also fun for me because I know many of the locals who had bit parts. This film is pure camp. If one views it as such you might just have a fun time.

This is one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've ever seen.

It's a real stereotype of a B movie, or even worse, a C movie.

I saw this at a military hospital and boy did I laugh my *** off, a real painkiller it was.

I recommend you watch this one with a large dose of humor.

I saw this movie when it first came out, . Enjoyed the characters, first thought this was spin off of Death . Wish movie, do to name & background of the Bo Hopkins character . (is explained in part during the café fighting scene) . With it's low budget, they did fairly good with the movie . Imagine what could have been if they had double the money . Only real scary part (do to today's terrorists activities, is the .idea of poisoning the water supply) . This age of remakes, maybe someone should dust-off the script . and with a bigger budget, might make a decent movie.

.It's B-Movie sci-fi & western, no more, nothing less.

This is possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life. I could talk about everything from the bad acting to the non-sensical plot, but it'd be a waste of time. You only need to watch the first half-hour of the film to know it really sucks. It doesn't even have any camp value to it! This film was so bad, it hurt my feelings!

On the surface, a very bad action adventure film. But, if not taken too seriously, it's a lot of fun. When a mad scientist poisons the water supply of a small Utah town, it's up to a drifter, a celebrity lawyer and two local cops to bring order to a town where the the citizens are now possessed by rage and violence. The last half hour reveals the film for what it truly is: a modern day western, as the good guys mount up to trail the bad guys for a showdown. Filmed with style on a small budget, featuring a score by Hans Zimmer of all people, the story only fails in the last ten minutes where the director just seemed to run out of story.
