Fighting Mad (1976)


Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Jonathan Demme
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shout! Factory)

Good ole boy Peter Fonda takes on a coal mining company when it tries to buy his family's ranch. He soon finds out the company has the law, and the politicians, on his payroll, and they won't go down easily. When he doesn't succumb to their threats of violence, they don't hesitate to resort to murder. This riles Fonda up even more, leading to a final violent confrontation. Entertaining if contrived southern-fried drive-in fodder.
