Death Journey (1976)

aka: The Adventures Of Jesse Crowder In Death Journey

Fearful that their star witness might be murdered, two attorneys (Art Maier and Lou Bedford) hire a protector to bring him from Los Angeles to New York. Jesse Crowder (Fred Williamson) is a no-nonsense tough guy. He befriends the witness (Bernard Kirby) as they hit the road. Outwitting their foes means taking all manner of travel, including automobile, train, and airplane. At every turn, Crowder and his witness face a variety of attacks, including gunfire and knife-wielding villains. At ease with the ladies, Crowder manages the entire journey with shirt unbuttoned and stogie clenched firmly in his teeth.
