"Rolling Thunder". If you come across this one in the "Bargain Bin" grab it! It stars William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones before they became big stars. They play Viet Nam vets who return home after years in a POW camp. They are changed men, and the world has changed around them. The plot is based on robbers who break into Devane's home and kill his soon to be ex wife and child. I won't tell anymore than that, but it's a really good movie that ends in one of the best gunfights on film. For some reason I've never seen it on TV.  Bill T.

I can only remember one scene. I'm sure you know the one.

The one with the ubiquitous kitchen appliance?  That's about the only thing I remember of the movie, but it has been over thirty years since I have seen it.

Wasn't the idiot who played the ringleader the same guy from "The Dukes Of Hazzard"?   Bill T.

I watched it on HULA last night. None of it was familiar except the one scene in the kitchen. There needs to be a sequel with the same surviving characters...30 years later...

I remember him as Burt Reynold's sidekick in his 70's action comedy "Hooper".   Bill T.
