William Lustig's VIGILANTE opened in the New York tri-state area on March 4, 1983. CHAINED HEAT hit many of the same theaters a couple of months later (May 27, 1983). Billed as "2 of the greatest action hits of the year," both films returned to the New York City area as a double feature on December 2, 1983.
I would have catched that double bill in a jiffy. Ah, the 80s...
