My favorite Corman produced and/or directed double feature is, still, The Lady in Red and Crazy Mama (directed by Jonathan Demme). Moving Violations/Fighting Mad are both good but hurt by a boring commentary from producer Julie Corman (not her fault really), director Charles Durbin (who doesn’t really say much except compliment everyone) and especially the film’s star Stephen McHattie who pretty much says nothing. Julie Corman sounds like she’s ‘pulling teeth’ asking McHattie to say something about his experience but pretty much adds nothing of interest except remembering the stuntman breaking his leg on the motorcycle. As for Moving Violations I had intended to buy White Line Fever because of Kay Lenz who I always remembered very fondly in her sexy ornament role in the Infatuation Rod Stewart music video from 1985. She also left an impression on me in more ways than one in the movie Fast Walking with James Woods. Not only is she sexy she can act. When I noticed I could also purchase never before seen Fighting Mad with Peter Fonda I pretty much knew I can’t go wrong. Plus, the good purchase comes complete with a very good commentary by Fonda, a good ol’ boy genre star who gets to showcase his revenge skills while on motorcycle and also horseback. After all this is a modern day 1976 western written by Demme who also leads the way in the commentary talking too and with Roger Corman. Lynn Lowry who co-stars also adds to the recollections in commentary. She slapped(!) Fonda on camera after Fonda had said she shouldn’t. She slapped him anyways. It’s in the movie.
Despite the contrived set up for the chase (Moving Violations) and the explosion (and there are lots) that only hurt one person, huh(?) (Fighting Mad) both movies are realistic (the farm and the family life are a highlight in Fighting Mad). And both movies get a professional lift from veterans Eddie Albert as the lawyer in Moving Violations, and John Doucette as the farmer and father in Fighting Mad. 4.2 stars

I was happy to see Fighting Mad available on DVD. This was filmed around Rogers, Arkansas in the 70's. My grandparents owned a farm up there and are even in the movie! Grandpa Frank Mayes is the old man who turns and looks directly at the camera during a scene, he's wearing his cowboy hat, overalls and glasses. My grandma, Ruby Mayes is consoling Mrs Henshue on her porch. There are deleted scenes of my Grandpa chasing Peter Fonda with a pitch fork and also being arrested, but we have those at home in our cedar chest.
