THE DEVIL'S 8-1969-Federal agent Faulker (Christopher George) helps 6 convicts break out of jail. He's assembling a small gang to bring down bottlegger Burl Long (Ralph Meeker). Murderer Frankie (Ross Hagen), mechanic Billie Joe (Tom Nardini), Bible reading Chandler (Larry Bishop), ace driver Henry (Robert DoQui), Sam (Joe Turkel), Sonny (Fabian) and Martin (Ron Rifkin) who's not a convict, just a rookie federal agent. They learn to fight, shoot and drive fast cars and they're all a bunch of assholes. Later when they are dealing with Long, Frank has sex with Cissy (Leslie Parrish) his ex-girlfriend now Long's mistress. The others do a lot of drinking and start a fight at a bar. Cliff Osmond is Long's assistant. Nice theme song.
Bert Topper directed this DIRTY DOZEN influenced story for AIP. He later worked with Fabian again on SOUL HUSTLER.
Thanks for reading!
