Title: THE BLACK ANGELS (1970) Post by: The Burgomaster on May 07, 2010, 12:08:20 PM I recently bought this DVD-R from Something Weird.
The best part of this movie is James Whitworth from original THE HILLS HAVE EYES is in it. (His name is spelled "Witworth" in the credits). This is different from most 1960s biker films in that it deals with racial issues between a black motorcycle gang and a white gang. My favorite line of dialogue is, "A black man and a white man can't even have a decent fight without someone thinking it's racial." There isn't much of a plot. Most of the time the bikers just hang around in a bar, talk tough to each other, slap women around, and get into fights. There are also two cops who keep showing up (they aren't even in a police car . . . they're in a light-colored Chevy Bel Air or something). The movie mostly centers around the white gang - - the black gang only shows up occasionally. Then at the end there's a big (poorly choreographed) rumble. For some reason, there's a snake slithering around some of the bikers while they are rolling around on the ground fighting. Some of the songs on the soundtrack have terrible and (unintentionally) funny lyrics. One song is called CIGARETTES (see YouTube clip below). Other songs try to make statements about political and social issues - - but the lyrics are just dumb. Recommended ONLY for big fans of biker movies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTqKKv8TeV4 Title: Re: THE BLACK ANGELS (1970) Post by: retrorussell on May 07, 2010, 02:11:00 PM OUCH!
