Rick decides something must be done about the scourge of drunk driving and soups up his truck with armour and even weapons like a harpoon. He then begins to take out drunk drivers and call on the police to arrest them. He uses the name on the radio, The Gladiator...
The Gladiator soon becomes a cult hero and comes to the attention of radio host Susan (Nancy Allen) - though she unwittingly already knows him as he is the mechanic who fixes her car and who has a thing for her. Meanwhile the guy in the black Dodge is continuing to target people. Obviously he and the Gladiator will soon meet...
It is ridiculous cheap fun and violent. A glorious load of tosh you used to find so often in the VHS video shop. The black Dodge Chargers were apparently once used in the Dukes of Hazard. This is altogether darker road adventure. The road scenes are not that bad at all. The reveal of the Black Charger Guy is somewhat disappointing though.
