What goes around, comes around...
I saw this film purely by accident in 1974 at a 24 hours independent film festival marathon in Los Angeles called Filmex. I'd recently been to Idaho, driven through that landscape, and saw some very strange goings on near the nuclear testing facilities. So the title and the scenery immediately grabbed me. I suspected the title may have been a hint to otherwise classified experiments held for real at a secret facility in that state.The film left an indelible mark on me because of its ending, and for years I would bring it up in conversation when discussing the future fate of the human race and the conspiracy by the oil companies. This was before video tapes, so I couldn't share the film with anyone, the film just vanished. It's good to see it now on DVD, though I have not seen the quality, and from what I read, seems like Peter Fonda needs to retrieve the master and re-release it with restored commentary.
