I loved this film because a) it's a 70's flick: the 70's were the best for film and b) it sympathizes with Native causes: in this case, revenge on the ongoing genocide against Turtle Island's original inhabitants. As it turned out, Johnny got his rightful revenge for his grandfather's murder and for the teacher's murder! How cool is that: 5 revenge killings for the price of 2 murders!! LOL It is clear that Johnny Firecloud is the protagonist hero in this one. I loved how his grandfather walked into the bar in his full traditional regalia and demanded his grandson's release otherwise there would have been a major war for which it began when Johnny's grandfather got murdered by those lynching hillbillies. And to top it all off, the cop decided not to charge Johnny in the end. Now THAT'S what I call real justice! Anyway, this classic earns a 9 out of 10 in my books.
