The National Guard scenes are very disturbing from the earlier scenes where the thugs taunt the guy calling him a f*g while he is preparing for duty and then him finding them after they got caught looting a jewellery shop and shoots them dead and then he tries to rape Victoria Principal before he is shot dead by a police officer.
Other parts of the movie range from good to ho hum, some of the special effects are spectacular but some are down right amateurish especially the elevator scene which should be horrific with the car crashing down the shaft then cartoon blood splatters on the screen, instead of being horrified most of the audience burst out laughing, reading up on this scene they actually tried other effects where the people were wedged through the roof on impact but when filmed it was deemed to graphic and would have given the movie an R rating so they went with the fake animated blood splat which was ridiculous, also another scene where a woman gets hit in the head by a falling pane of glass but you could already see the shards of glass sticking out of her head before the glass hits her.
The motorcycle stunt scene is probably one of the better parts of the movie and yes i agree why did they give Victoria Principal an Afro hair do in the movie but have to admit she does look good in the yellow t shirt and black leathers.
