Black Oak Conspiracy

Prior to "Walking Tall", and other hixploitations films, this film is no different. After coming home from Hollywood, Jingo(Jesse Vint) comes to Black Oak, Arkansas where he sees something is not right in his town. His mother is put in a nursing home, and her home is torn down by unscrupulous people near the mine. Even the sheriff is in on it. The sheriff and the schemers are desperate to get the property and run Jingo out of town. He on the other hand has his professor brother help him out on what is going on while he was doing films. Not only is his mother is the victim, other people are involved as well. This movie is common. Kinda like a avengers movie. Good plot and storyline. Nothing was left out. Like it very much. 2 out of 5 stars.

Hollywood stuntman Jesse Vint heads back to the Oklahoma home where he was born. His mother is in a coma in the hospital, her farm has been sold, and the town is divided against him. Half are glad to see him back, and the sheriff and developers want him gone. This movie screams it was made in the 1970s, from the haircuts to the soundtrack to the loose-jointed way it's plotted Vimt's old girlfriend, Karen Carlson, has moved on, looking for someone who can get her out into the wider world, and Bimt's modest life won't do it; not that he's been writing. Despite the title, there appears to be no deep-rooted conspiracy, just people looking to make a buck and willing to get nasty about it. Cint's script is not particularly deep, but it gets its undemanding job done. Some longtime movie people show up in sizable roles, including Albert Salmi, Seymour Castellani, and Douglas Fowley in his antepenultimate big-screen role.

Though the plot may seem routine to other redneck crime movies of the 1970s, this entry is pretty solid with tons of action-packed stunts. Jesse Vint (who also co-wrote and produced) is a Hollywood stuntman who is summoned back home to his hometown of Black Oak, where his mother is deathly ill in a nursing home. He soon discovers that everything is not what it seems and gets caught up in a land developing scheme involving the town sheriff and other shady locals. There are some good car stunts, plenty of fisticuffs, and a couple brutal scenes of violence. The talented supporting cast includes Seymour Cassel, Karen Carlson, Albert Salmi, Robert F. Lyons, Douglas Fowley, and James Gammon.

Jesse Vint stars as a guy who moves back to his small home town because his mother has taken ill. He learns that she sold the family farm at some point to a local mining concern, and when he starts asking questions, the sheriff (Albert Salmi) takes a keen interest in discouraging him. Vint co-wrote and produced this flick which is a rather obvious attempt at cashing in on the success of "Walking Tall". This one's an immensely slow burner that doesn't really build up to much of anything. The poster promises a lot more action than the film delivers. Seymour Cassel co-stars as Vint's closest friend. As expected, he's good, but he's hardly convincing as a small town southerner.

then you should check this out. This is an entertaining good ol' boy action flick. Hollywood stuntman Jingo (Jesse Vint) returns to his hometown in Oklahoma when his mother takes ill. He immediately suspects something isn't right with his mother's situation (she is nearly catatonic and in a nursing home) so he begins to investigate. He uncovers the scheme involving the sheriff, a local doctor, cheap property and the local land mine. And, naturally, he wins back the girl he left in town. It is strange how this type of film (small town conspiracy) was so predominant in the 70s but rarely gets made today. BOC is a bit slow in the beginning but picks up toward the end with a fun car chase and a couple of really shocking shootings. Sadly, the poster, featuring a bloodied and beaten Vint with a shotgun and overturned cars, depicts stuff that never happens in the movie.
