Watch Rolling Vengeance For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

"Don't muck with an 18-wheel trucker!!!!!" Oh, sorry, good tag-line, but for the wrong movie.Having seen it twice, I can tell you that this low-budget flick from the 80's is a fun one - provided you keep your expectations modest. Rolling Vengeance is a story about a young trucker, who after being spurned by the justice system, deals out his brand of vengeance upon those who murdered his entire family. This economically-shot revenge flick certainly has it's shinning moments, mostly in the form of sweet "mechanized" revenge; but before that can happen there's a little back story. Joey Rosso is a young trucker that's learning the ropes of the trade and he yearns and aspires to be just like his old man Big Joe Rosso and he is well on his way to attaining the status of Pro-Trucker - unfortunately for him, there's trouble up ahead - just around bend!The Rosso boy's are employed by a certain smarmy, used-car salesman and bar owner by the name of Tiny Doyle, who along with his five low-down, bottom-of-the-gene-pool sons, run a prosperous strip-bar called "Tiny's Dance". It's the job of the Rosso's to truck in the liquor at Tiny's place and well it's simply a very contentious relationship between the two sides, that plus alcohol and a pick-up truck, all tragically serve to shape the plot and what's left of the Doyle clans future. Taken to court and found "not guilty" of vehicular manslaughter, the Rosso's naturally feel cheated by the justice system, shortly there after a bar brawl at Tiny's joint ignites a full fledged feud, one that pits the Rosso's vs the Doyle's and more murder and mayhem is primed and waiting. Soon afterwards the Doyle's take out Big Joe with an aerial assault of cinder blocks and in light of this most recent outrage it pushes junior over-the-edge and swears vengeance, as Big Joe lay's comatose. It's through here that the movie briefly takes on a certain MacGyver-like quality, as junior Rosso gets down to business in enacting his quest for justice - vigilant justice. Scrounging around in the local junkyards, Joey finds the part's for his avenging "rig" of destruction and gets down to it - with wrench and blow-torch he literally builds a one-of-a-kind, flame-spewing, monstertruck. With his rig complete and the Doyle clan in his cross-hairs, Joey Rosso wastes no time in enacting - ROLLING VENGEANCE! And as it turns out, two-by-two, the Doyle's do fall.At first Joey's MO is clearly set in the form of an avenging, fire-spewing, war-rig of destruction in the night and soon he begins to lay the hurt on the despicable Doyle's, loudly and very effectively. On the first night it's the destruction of Tiny's used-car business - and the Doyle's DO notice this, but then on the very next night Joey Rosso (Mr. Rolling Venegance himself) ups the ante big-time and as I said, the Doyles begin to fall, as murder ensues - out in the back-country. Murder it is, but more specifically, it's vehicular-homicide of the most inspired kind - who's victims could NOT be more guilty or more deserved of the fiery, hell-bent, brand of mechanized vigilante justice that Joey Rosso has in store for them. In other words - their in a world of trouble.After the first batch of Doyle's are dispatched the stakes are raised, when a couple of drunken Doyle's are out at Joey's place, looking and listening for clues, in an effort to find the answers to who's been causing them all the bad luck lately. Turn's out Joey's not home - but his pretty girlfriend "Misty" unfortunately show's up looking for him, seeing an opportunity the Doyle boy's pounce like laughing hyena's and proceed to rape her. NOW JOEY'S REALLY PISSSED and his brazenness is increased ten-fold, as he unleashes his Rolling Vengeance in broad daylight! What starts as a chase in a corn field, ends in an inspired chase to the death in a large warehouse - and suddenly there's just two Doyle's left and more vengeance is bound to come rolling their way soon.The sheriff is well aware of what's going on and has more than a hunch of who's behind all the killings, but since the Doyle's are such slime, he's intent on taking his time investigating the matter. Cut back to the hospital, where Big Joe linger's in a coma, the sheriff finds Joey and does some "light questioning", however other events interrupt this, as Big Joe dies and Misty walks in further complicating things. As night falls Joey once again gets back to his work, Rolling Vengeance ends in a spectacularly destructive finale at Tiny's Dance and with the help of the sheriff they slay the king rat, Tiny Doyle and his last remaining son. Misty shows up once again and predictably she wastes no time in getting in the way and she's very nearly gets drilled again, but in a VERY different sort of way.Ned Beatty's performance is simply the best of the lot and with his combination of comb-over, black leather jacket and a missing tooth, he play's his character with style, as the loathsomely smarmy, Tiny Doyle - ruler and patriarch of the Doyle clan. I find his performance to be terrifically entertaining and wish he'd played a similar role in a movie with a much bigger budget, I think the results would have been even more inspired. Rolling Vengeance is very much a "taking-out-the-trash" type of movie, which were extremely popular in the 80's.Anyway, once it all said and done the young trucker gets his revenge......

TV movies were never a big deal to me. I always assumed since it's on TV it can't be that badass. There are no boobies and no gore so why bother, right? Well Rolling Vengeance has taught me a thing or two about TV movies. Apparently they can be brutal! Joey and Big Joe Rosso are an all American father son trucking team who happen to be unfortunate enough to deliver booze to the local strip club. The club is run by Tiny Doyle and his four sons who harass the public and cause a general disturbance to everyone in a half mile radius. One day while drunk driving they decided to play chicken with Big Joe Rosso's wife and two daughters. When chicken goes wrong the wife and kids are killed and the rednecks get off scot-free. Enraged, Little Joey decides to get his revenge one way or another.The sheer brutality of the mother and two daughters dying in the first half of the film is only the beginning. As we move on we see the father put in a coma and the girlfriend raped. For a made for TV movie this sure has some balls! The only thing that really holds back the film is how ridiculously mean Tiny Doyle and the Doyle brothers are. In the court case, after getting off free of killing a mans wife and two children, they stand outside the courthouse to make fun of him! Then they drop cinderblocks on his truck! Maybe I'm not from the country and don't realize what people are like out there but is anyone that mean? Ned Beatty doesn't really pull off the badass father figure either. The first time we see him he's wearing a 50's leather jacket and he looks like that old guy at the club no one talks to.As far as revenge films go Rolling Vengeance goes on the top of my list. The first half of the film would put it their alone. When you find out Little Joey Rosso has been building the biggest, meanest monster truck this side of Kentucky this movie will move right up to your favorites. Watching Joey roll over half the town in his 80's montage themed monster invention is to 80's what chicken is to waffles! You gotta love it.

This movie is cheesy and pretty bad. Not horrid bad, but cheesy enough for the MST3K gang to handle. If they were still making new episodes this would be a perfect film for them. They'd have to edit out the rape scene but other than that it be fine. Or get some friends together and have a home MST3king of it yourselves.

The story is simple. A bunch of redneck terrorize the streets of their town with their pick up. They accidentally kill a women with her two children. Her husband wants revenge, they kill him too. But the family prodigal son wants revenge too, he build a monstertruck, and he plants to kill the rednecks who murder his family. The rest of the movie is a mixt of bar fights, car chase and bigfoot carnage. The action scene are really weak and the acting is even worse. However, the characters are funny, we have a topless bar owner and his beer drinking redneck truck driver sons, a good father and his truck driver prodigal son. If you like trucks, beer, shotgun, topless dancers, trucks and bar fight you'll love this movie. If you don't, try to avoid Rolling Vengeance.
