Exploitation flicks are as good as Confederate currency

Because they make no claim to anything beyond exploitation, there’s really not much you need to know about the chicken-fried clunkers of the Hillbilly Double Feature. Here are the lowlights:

The first flick, 1976’s Dixie Dynamite, is about a pair of sisters who set out to avenge their murdered moonshiner pa. Alas, the flick has no connection to melon-breasted porn star Leanna Foxxx, a.k.a. Dixie Dynamite, who would have only been 12 when this stink bomb was released. Dang!

The second turkey, Redneck Miller from 1977, is an odd mating of Confederate crapola and blaxpoitation in which our hick hero matches wits with a drug pusher named Supermac. The tag line says it all: "He's a good ol’ boy . . . but with a mean streak as wide as the Catawba!”
