Leofwine_draca SKINHEADS is a fun little independent action thriller in which some innocent youths are pursued by a crazed gang of Neo-Nazis with murder in mind. It has a rural setting and is very similar in look and feel to the equally low rent and cheesy '80s slasher, MEMORIAL VALLEY MASSACRE. The heroes are a nondescript bunch here and don't have much presence, but the Nazi types are hilarious goons, slow-witted in the extreme.SKINHEADS offers plenty of cheap action in the form of fist fights, shoot-outs, and endless chase sequences. It's one of those films where the good guys manage to escape by the skin of their teeth time and again. The violence is too cheesy to take seriously, but I enjoyed this regardless; it's goofy and fun. An ageing Barbara Bain plays one of the victims, while the great Chuck Connors has a great late-stage role as a hermit type who brings his shotgun out to play against the Nazi scum.

Red-Barracuda In this lame thriller, a group of half-wit skinheads kill four people at a diner then chase a deeply uncharismatic couple into a forest. It's all really quite amateurish. The skinheads could be OK villains if only they weren't so moronic and the plight of the heroes would be a lot better if only they were in the least bit interesting. But alas, no. What we end up with is an extended and somewhat tedious pursuit through a forest. There are a couple of cameos courtesy of an old grizzled woodsman and an extremely tame grizzly bear. It's not really all that entertaining but sadly I have seen much worse.The soundtrack is provided by someone called Elvis Hitler and given the neo-nazi subject matter here, I sincerely hope that this is an ironic name. But in a film where the supposed most stupid member of the skinhead gang, 'Brains', is clearly only the second most stupid, anything is possible.

jamie.medhurst **SPOILERS**Pretty terrible movie that must have been a carear low point for barbara bain (I'm sure Conners has been in just as bad). They are the two mature leads who help the kids battle the skinheads. The acting is universally bad and the plot as dumb as it gets. It's quite tame really and the deaths are all a bit "naff". Spoiller alert!The heroine, the in her fifties but still lovely Barbara Bain, I thought might save the film but her tough cafe owner soon becomes a "please don't hurt me" wreck when confronted by a 16 year old skinhead girl and when she is killed off by the girl, who slitts her throat, it is possibly the least realistic death scene in the movies, it looks like she's just drawn a red crayon across bain's neck!And hey this isn't Physco, what are you doing killing off your female lead after half an hour. All round awful and you'll look back and think what a waste of an hour and a half of my life!

two-ton Chuck at his best. This is one of "The Rifleman's" last films. He plays a good guy who helps some kids being chased by skinheads. Chuck is by far the most believable character in this less than good film. It would be terrible if it didn't have Mr. Connors acting.A must see for any Chuck Connors fan.
