Dixie Dynamite (1976)

A low budget usually harms a film but in this case it kind of suits it.

After their moonshine making father (Mark Miller) is killed in a police chase, his daughters (Jane Anne Johnson and Kathy McHaley) take over the still and aim to get revenge. They discover that the federal agents who caused the police trouble were fake and an evil rich businessman Stanley Adams is looking to get his hands on Miller's land. The girls get the help of a dirt biker Warren Oates with their search for revenge.

The grubby setting and cheap rough camerawork at times suits the story. A fine B-movie. One of the stunt bikers was Steve McQueen (though he was wearing a helmet but not recognisable) who took the job as he was bored!
