Here we have a stateside Vet, Linc, still affected by The War - it's a common theme to all wars, not just Vietnam,, but okay. A group of townies/frat boys decide to pick on him because they think he won't fight. But he's pushed too far, and not only wins the fight but hurts the arm of a potential pro basketball player. However, our Vet has no regrets, because, basically, he didn't start the fight. Then, Tod, out of the blue, decides he wants to fight our Vet because even though the Vet was outnumbered 5 to 1 by the fratboys, he had the audacity to fight like a warmonger (i.e. Use judo and some really badly done karate) instead of just using his dukes. Tod then tails the Vet to another town to force him to use his fists instead of that mysterious Asian fighting stuff. After they punch each other to a draw, even Tod finally admits he doesn't know why he was really fighting....a question the audience was also asking. And then the Vet decides to buddy up with Tod who just tried to beat the snot out of him. The whole time you have a girl, Willow, following the Vet around because...well, the answer she gives makes as much sense as Tod's does. The acting was fine. The plot and dialogue was ridiculous.
