What was the secret of the movie's box-office success? Mostly good old sex and violence, a dash of Southern charm, and a heap of injustice.

Max Baer Jr.'s directorial debut Macon County Line was a great film.I watched it for the 1st time ever today & enjoyed watching every minute of it.I've heard of The Vint Brothers & after watching this flick, I wonder what happened to their careers?
