ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Scott LeBrun "Dixie Dynamite" may win no prizes for originality, and isn't among the best of its kind, but is not bad, getting a lot of mileage out of the appeal of its cast. Foxy, foxy leading ladies Jane Anne Johnstone and Kathy McHaley play Dixie and Patsy, two good ol' gals who tire of all the garbage that other people throw in their faces. Their moonshiner daddy Tom (Mark Miller) is accidentally killed by the crooked local law enforcement while a greedy rich jerk (played to the hilt by corpulent Stanley Adams) is determined to get his hands on as much land, including Tom's farm, as possible. Well, the bank president (R.G. Armstrong) reneges on his deal to cut the girls some slack, having known it would be hard for them to make ends meet, preferring to keep the jerk, his principal client, happy. The gals go on a crime spree, partly to get revenge, but also to act as a couple of 'modern day Robin Hoods', as the 'Dukes of Hazzard' theme song would put it, stealing from the rich in order to help out local farmers. There's something to be said here for how greed can motivate people, as our "heroines" realize their potential gains, as well as loyal family friend Mack (Warren Oates), a motocross racer, who's initially disgusted by their criminal activities but changes his tune when they quote him his substantial share of their potential take. There is a certain delight in seeing these gals start raising hell, and they show a fair amount of smarts as well as spunk. It would be hard not to feel sympathy for them, especially as one montage shows their inability to land legitimate jobs is just one motivator. While some of the cast admittedly have been better showcased in other vehicles, they're still quite engaging, from the ever likable Oates to Christopher George as the reluctantly corrupt yet not unreasonable sheriff to Wes Bishop (also co-writer and producer) as the cowardly, bumbling, creepy deputy to Miller as the briefly seen Tom Eldridge to the amusing Adams as the bad guy. Director / co-writer Lee Frost has a cameo near the end as a pathologist, and none other than the legendary Steve McQueen does some uncredited work as a motocross racer in the big racing sequence. Now, "Dixie Dynamite" is never as blatantly exploitative as some fans of this genre will like, and in fact is sometimes downright goofy (it IS rated PG). But an undemanding fan, such as myself, can still have a good enough time watching it, as it's fairly well paced and refrains from ever getting really dull. Seven out of 10.

Jakemcclake Spoilers This movie is in the mold of Thelma and Louise without male bashing. Two women lose their moon shining father to the thoughtlessness of a self centered sheriff's deputy. The two daughters lose everything and head toward poverty. Then the movie has a very distinct turning point, when the daughter, Dixie, played by beautiful Jane Anne Johnstone promises Patsy, the second daughter, that things are gonna turn around. This was my biggest problem with the movie is that it telegraphs the rest of the plot with that line.What follows is the women begin to exact revenge on all who wronged them and their father. They exact revenge on the Sheriff's Deputy and begin a crime spree and finish by pulling off a big robbery against the bank that set up the killing of their father. They get away with the money and their man friend.I found Dixie believable and likable. Kathy McHaley was also very believable in her part as the second daughter Patsy. Warren Oates played a good part as Mack, who is their male friend mentioned above. At one point there is a memorable scene when Dixie in her own way, lets Mack know that things have changed a little around these parts, sweetheart!

JasparLamarCrabb You'd have to be a real Warren Oates fetishist to actually seek DIXIE DYNAMITE out. It's bad...very bad...and not because of the obviously low budget or stilted acting or dismal script. It's strangely boring! There's very little dynamite and frankly very little of Dixie. Jane Anne Johnston and Kathy McHaley (who together possess about as much charisma as a flat tire) play two moonshiner's daughters seeking revenge on the roly-poly land baron who stole their house (and whose goons killed their father). There's NO ACTION to speak of except for the occasional car exploding (in the same exact spot each time!). The presence of Warren Oates does nothing. Nor does the fact that the crooked sheriff is played by the great Christopher George. For some reason, the movie features some really stupid musical montages and a fairly unexciting motorbike race thrown in for good measure.

Woodyanders After their moonshiner pappy (Mark Millner) gets bumped off by big, nasty bossman Dade (a splendidly smarmy'n'slippery turn by unsung fat guy thesp Stanley Adams), Millner's two spitfire daughters Patsy and Dixie decide to get revenge by stealing Dade's tremendous amounts of money and redistributing the cash back to the poor country people Dade's been bilking bread from. Directed with customary zippy élan by former 60's soft-core sex picture filmmaker turned 70's drive-in feature auteur Lee Frost (who also co-wrote the cheekily effective script with longtime collaborator Wes Bishop, who also pops up in a sizable co-starring role as the sleazy, trigger happy, dangerously blundering Deputy Frank), this Southern-fried ozoner revenge potboiler offers a pleasingly ramshackle and richly colorful evocation of the South, what with jubilant bluegrass music on the soundtrack, solid themes concerning family ties and loyalty, an odious Yankee villain trying to buy up everyone's land, cops and crooks mingling with each other just like buddies, poverty and unemployment keeping honest folks down, the occasional lively car chase, a token rowdy bar fight, and two sassy good old gal protagonists who use everything they got to get ahead in life. Jane Anne Johnstone and Kathy McHaley are wonderfully breezy and appealing as the sexy, pretty, very spunky and supremely self-sufficient distaff leads, with sturdy supporting performances by the always dependable Warren Oates as Mack, an amiably scraggly motorcross bike champ who the girls confide in (an uncredited Steve McQueen doubles for Oates in the motorcross race sequences); Christopher George as a nice guy sheriff on the take, and R.G. Armstrong as a venal bank president with feet of clay. Spirited and entertaining, "Dixie Dynamite" serves up a considerable heap of punchy'n'rollicking kick up the dirt animated fun.
