Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's subtitle comes from an alleged statement of a U.S. Army Major (name unknown) during the Vietnam War who was said to have defended the complete and total destruction of both a Vietnamese town and everyone and everything in it at the hands of Army soldiers who were acting on his orders by supposedly saying "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it."
- GoofsAfter breaking through a roadblock, the main character's car has three out of its four front headlights broken as a result. Later, all four of them are suddenly intact when it does not seem probable that the three broken ones could have been repaired that quickly.

Featured review
Useless trash
First off, I'm a fan of Roger Corman and cheesy movies, but this was just plain horrible. If you want to see why the Hippie lifestyle went away then maybe this movie is for you. Otherwise it was a total waste of time. Seemed that everyone associated with this cinematic dreck must have been doing way too much LSD. Just about every line in this movie made no sense. The acting was sub-par even from those that have done fine work in other films. There was no plot in the acceptable use of the word and those involved should hang their heads any time this movie is mentioned. The only thing good I can say is that I managed to not see this junk as long as I have.
