I watched this film again after its recent release on Blu-Ray and what I’ve been saying for a long while was certainly true: the film looks no better than it did on the screen or even on DVD. This of course is because the source material is the source material and no amount of megapixels is going to change that. Indeed often times Blu Ray films are being made from the identical masters that were used for DVD releases. Blu Ray does nothing for older films that I can see.

Having said that, the film itself still stands up to the test of time with Charles Bronson playing the depression era bare-knuckle fighter that makes his living in thirties America moving from fight to fight. He joins forces with promoter James Coburn to chase a big fight and make some real money.
