**_Land developers vs. rural property owners in Arkansas_** A man returns from the big city to his traditional family ranch in northwest Arkansas (Peter Fonda), only to discover that a determined land developer (Philip Carey) is buying up land nearby for strip mining and, of course, wants his dad’s ranch. When beloved citizens turn-up dead, the kid gloves are off. “Fighting Mad” (1976) comes in the tradition of “Walking Tall” and would influence “First Blood” six years later. Car crash movies from the 70s are also comparable, like Fonda’s own “Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.” This is the least of ’em, however, because the dramatics are curiously boring and needed a rewrite to flush out the potential, but it’s still worth catching if you like Peter and these types of flicks. The best parts are the vehicular mayhem and the closing confrontation at the castle-like manor of the tycoon. It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Washington County, Arkansas, and the corresponding town of Springdale, which are in the northwest corner of the state. The jail scenes were shot in the studio in Los Angeles. GRADE: B-
