This is a film that any fan of James Woods or good tongue-in-cheek prison movies will greatly enjoy. Woods plays Fast-Walking a corrupt pot smoking prison guard who runs a barnyard brothel for crop picking farm hands in his spare time. This film is filled with in-jokes with the late great Tim McIntire as Wasco one of the boss-inmates stealing every scene that he is in...he plays a huge prissy bad-ass who loves calling the shots behind bars. Kay Lenz is corrupt, deadly and absolutely drop dead naked gorgeous in this fun fast-moving picture. She seduces Woods and messes with his plan to help inmates escape from his jail. M. Emmet Walsh does his usual great character acting as Woods' prison guard boss and adds his usual subtle humor to his character. This film has some clever plot twists near the end and some violence but will still leave you smiling when the picture is over. Fast Walking is a wild ride and I highly recommend it, as it was released in 1982 I will confidently state that it is one of the 25 best films of the entire 1980s. Fast Walking can be a difficult film to locate but it is definitely worth the search...find this movie, watch it and enjoy it...asap.
