A very strange anti-establishment film, made in a comical manner, but rather than being funny, it's just plain weird. Three young men (Georg Stanford Brown, Tim O'Connor and Brandon deWilde) get into trouble after being caught with pot, escape on their way to prison (thanks to a convenient truck accident), and decide that it would be a good idea (and an anti-war statement) to steal an army airplane which leads to a series of very bizarre events involving hot tempered army general Keenan Wynn (providing a great deal of ham in this porker) and the president and vice president and oddball characters played by "Hogan's Heroes" actor Larry Hovis and Robert Lansing.
Very bizarre in nature, and definitely a product of its time, it hasn't dated well and just comes off as a big weird question mark with no purpose. There's a supporting character who happens to be gay, and that is utilized for a few cheap laughs, particularly a fight sequence with Brown where he tries to kiss him with Brown recoiling in horror. This was obviously very cheaply made and I can't see it looking very good on the bog screen. An audacious curiosity that's for sure, but it doesn't add up to much.
