Trivia
Cast members Susan George and Bo Hopkins replaced original cast members Susan Blakely and John Beck in the roles of Mary Lee Carter and Sheriff Duke respectively. The casting of the originals had been announced in the 8th December 1975 edition of show-business trade-paper 'The Hollywood Reporter'. Reportedly, they did not stay with the project and bowed out of the production for reasons which are publicly undetermined.

Goofs
During most of the chase scenes, the police cars change alternately from Plymouth Satellites to Plymouth Furys and one changes to an AMC Matador in the final chase scene.

8/10

Great action film for '70's drive-in fanatics.

A Small Town In Texas is a film that I put high on the list of genre action films that were a staple at drive-in's during the '1970's and '80's. The car action is great with real stunts. A great cast of film supporting actors and the always cool directing of the late Jack Starrett. Bo Hopkins is great as the sheriff, Morgan Woodward as the corrupt rich local, John Karlen and Clay Tanner as deputies, Susan George as the girlfriend is '70's hot!,Art Hindle is always good and Buck Flower steals the show as a cussin', spittin', tough-as-nails hick who helps Timothy Bottoms against the crooked law man. I hope a DVD release will be in the near future.
