The
novel denounced vigilantism,
whereas the film embraced the
notion. Nevertheless, the film was
a commercial success and was
embraced by the public in the
United States, who were facing
increasing crime rates during the
1970s. [4] Since then, the film has
been considered a Cult Film and
has generated a strong following
among fans of vigilante films, who
regard it as one of the first films
to introduce the "pedestrian"
vigilante.
