There are some ridiculous scenes (I know I always meet with MY vigilante gang while sitting naked in a hot tub). Many present-day filmmakers feel they need bow down to the altar of man-hating "feminists" like Andrea Dworkin who conflate any expression of male heterosexuality with rape, but I thank god 70's filmmakers didn't.
