 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I'm not convinced that the cited book is clearly unreliable. Vadder (talk) 16:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The book, yes. But the Rotten Tomatoes entry is clearly blank, and the other three sources are either personal blogs or fansites, neither of which is a WP:RS. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is a B grade biker movie from 1970 directed by another notorious B Grade director, Al Adamson. It got a short review by The New York Times, shown here. Its cult status is recognized by dvddrive-in.com here. And DVD Talk reviewed it back on April 26, 2005. Searching in Google News, a good review by RideApart comes up. The reviewer is Bryan Wood who has done quite a few articles for RideApart. His review of the film can be seen here. There's a bit about it too in Tom Weaver's It Came from Horrorwood. Weaver is a well-referenced author for B grade sci-fi and horror etc.. You can see what he wrote here at Page 310. Also The Grindhouse Cinema Database does a review on it. Normally when The Grindhouse Cinema Database covers something you know it is most likely gonna be B grade exploitation sleaze. And this is just what this film is! And millions of B grade exploitation aficionados around the world love this stuff. Well, it's got cult status and it is easily notable! Karl Twist (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - While I may be admittedly biased since I created the page, and it's true that the page deserves more (way more) work being put into it, the editions made by Karl Twist show that it has been given enough notability by sources that are both reliable and themselves notable enough, including a New York Times review.--EdgarCabreraFariña (talk) 13:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
