Hell's Angels on Wheels

[StatCat]

Just got done watching this one.  Not too bad, a lot of fighting (always a bonus) and lots of biker footage so it's a pretty worthwhile biker flick.  Cinematography is pretty good too.  Kind of cool they used a poor song in the movie (in the long drawn out going nowhere part) The ending seems a bit abrupt though.  

Up next: Satan's Sadists, should be a lot more low budget and grimmy

Then hopefully:

The Werewolves on Wheels
The Born Losers
Savage Seven

and I need to get a copy of The Glory Stompers and my biker flick craze will be complete.

I am also a fan of biker flicks (actually, I'm a fan all 1960s/1970s biker and hippie flicks).  I have some on DVD (EASY RIDER, BORN LOSERS, CYCLE SAVAGES, THE TRIP, ANGEL UNCHAINED, PSYCH-OUT . . .)

THE BORN LOSERS is one of my favorites.  It really captures the fashions, slang, etc., of the 1960s.  Plus, it's the first Billy Jack movie.

This movie was directed by the same guy that did Psych Out (it's the movie he did just before)

Not too interested in Billy Jack movies but I want to see the born losers definitely.

You need the WILD ANGELS dvd probably the best 60s biker movie I've seen.

I liked HELL'S ANGELS ON WHEELS starring Jack Nicholson. Sold my VHS copy but always liked this film. Always liked that b/w siloette ending of the film. Of coarse THE WILD ONE and WILD ANGELS are the best biker movies, not to mention PSYCHOMANIA, QUADRAPHENIA, and EASY RIDER.

BORN LOSERS is good, but not one of my favorite like the ones above.

The elite dvd transfer is so much more clear and nice than that shot so I'm guessing it's a big leap from the old vhs out there. Also it's in the original aspect ratio. Only extra is a trailer (which looks to be from a video) Too bad there couldn't of been anything else.

Most of my cheaper VHS were very poor in quality like HELL'S ANGELS ON WHEELS. I also saw this one on TV once in the 70's.
