Bank Robbery

 

 (imdb)

BOBBIE JO AND THE OUTLAW-1976-Reckless self-assured car thief Lyle Wheeler (Marjoe Gortner) hooks up with waitress Bobbie Joe (Lynda Carter) and her friend Essie (Belinda Balaski). He and Billie Jo become lovers and do a lot of nonsense until they meet up with BJ's sister Pearl (Merrie Lynn Ross) and her boyfriend Slick (Jesse Vint) and Lyle kills a factory guard. They all go on the run. During a police shootout, which they escape, Essie is killed. They decide to become bank robbers and killers. The tobacco chewing sheriff (Gene Drew) chases them and kills the wrong people at one point. 

This misguided "Bonnie & Clyde" influenced drama from AIP is OK to a point but just goes on too long. Director Mark L. Lester went on to make several high-profile movies like ROLLER BOOGIE (1979), CLASS OF 1984 (1982) and FIRESTARTER (1984) culminating with Arnold Schwarzenegger in COMMANDO. Screenwriter Vernon Zimmerman went on to direct FADE TO BLACK in 1980.
