HELLS ANGELS 69 (1969) - This biker film really hit the spot as I enjoy these 60's-70's biker films. This film captures the essense of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang. The story is about two brothers who manage to hang out with the notorious gang and talk them into going to Las Vegas while they use the Hells Angels as a distraction to rob a Casino for $600,000 dollars. Great images of Las Vegas in 1969, the desert, and the Hells Angels on the road. This one actual cost me just under $5 a while back as park of a biker film pack distributed by Media Blasters and has many good extras on the DVD.



Other films with Hells Angels in them are:

Wild Angels (1966)
Hells Angels on Wheels (1967)
Hells Angels Forever (1983) - A documentary movie about the history of the Hells Angels.

Hells Angels on Wheels....  An early Jack Nicholson film.   I felt my brain pop at the end, since the ending made utterly no sense to me.

Nice opening shot of the miles long line of bikers though...

Hells Angels on Wheels wasn't to bad. Always remember the b/w siloette at the end.

Scott:  Don't forget to add HELL'S BELLES and HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS (a typical Al Adamson piece of garbage) to your "must see" biker movie list.
"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Yep, I have a copy of HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS  which is on my shelve. Maybe in April Burgomaster.
