Country Rambo.
Pretty boy Benedict wasn't just known in the 70s and 80s for his roles in successful TV series like 'Battlestar Galactica' or 'The A-Team'. This prequel to 'First Blood' also appeared back then, starring him as the hunted Vietnam veteran. It was considerably lighter than Sly's first film, thanks to a high 'Dukes of Hazard' factor and an unbelievable love story.
It doesn't amount to much in terms of curiosity, but it is certainly entertaining. This is thanks to a pleasant dose of action and the country score by Willie Nelson.
Good.

Innocent, completely lighthearted action movie, with plenty of amusing stupidity and a
additional, cringe-worthy romantic encounter between Benedict and Blair.

A precursor to First Blood, but less grim and with a playful and almost comical redneck atmosphere reminiscent of Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit. So, country music and car chases. Not great in terms of acting, starring Dirk Benedict from The A-Team. Enough action to keep you from getting bored.
