As I stated before, I had never heard of this movie before. The acting is kinda cheesy, but the action footage is pretty good. From what I found on IMDB, the movie is 93 minutes in length. Looks like you can view most, if not all, of it on youtube. You just have to figure out the order of the 10-11 minute segments that are posted on youtube. Did you see how during the opening credits, both Steve Evans and Dave McClelland are noted as the track announcers for Lions and Amarillo?
