The California Kid (Made-for-TV 1974) Vic Morrow, Martin Sheen


Made-for-TV movies weren't all true crime stories and diseases-of-the week back then.

I watched the world television premiere of this movie in 1974. I must have been 11. I thought it was weird that they had a two-door police car. 

Martin Sheen arrives driving a hotrod in a speedtrap town where the local police chief (Vic Morrow) murders speeders by running them off the road. One victim was played by Martin Sheen's brother, Joe Esteves. Sheen comes looking for revenge. 

The plot was a little thin, but it was all right. They destroy several cars that seem extremely old now but weren't over 20-years-old at the time. I didn't entirely understand the duel at the end.
