| title | aka | date | review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angel Unchained | "Angels Unchained"; "Hells Angels Unchained" | 1970 | Guy quits gang, but must ask for their help to save the commune he rides into from rednecks. Watchable, but lame ending. |
| Angels Die Hard! | "Rough Boys" |
1970 | Bike gang returns to the small town where they were previously run out. Incoherent if watched too closely, otherwise tolerable |
| Angels From Hell | 1968 | Better than average story of the tug of war between the gang and the man. | |
| Angels Hard As They Come | "Angels, Hell on Harleys"; "Angels" | 1971 | Two clubs battle it out in a hippie commune. Not as bad as it sounds. |
| Angels' Wild Women | "Rough Riders"; "Screaming Eagles" | 1972 | When the guys go on a stag run the gals head out on their own, end up tangling with a evil drug cult. Not the worst of the lot. |
| Angry Breed, The | 1968 | Stupid Hollywood expose, good guy battles bad guy and gang for starring movie role. The "bikers" wear full-dress Nazi uniforms with ties no less. Pitiful. | |
| Beyond the Law | "Fixing the Shadow" | 1992 | Cop infiltrates biker gang, finds his attitude is closer to that of his prey than he ever imagined. Loosely based on actual events. Decent. |
| Biker Zombies | "Biker Zombies From Detroit" | 2001 | Pathetic attempt to make a serious horror flick. There's nothing worth describing, or even making fun of. Pure junk. |
| Bite The Bullet | 1975 | Cowboys vie for prize money in 700mi race. Lost interest as soon as I saw the prop HD had a 2-stroke motor and they didn't dub in a 4-stroke exhaust sound. | |
| Black Angels,The | "Black Bikers from Hell" | 1970 | "It's getting so you can't have a fight with a black guy without it turning into something racial'. B&W clubs battle. |
| Black Six, The | 1974 | Group of black Nam vets ride their bikes back to one's home town to find out who's responsible for his brother's death. Jive, but it's all cool, especially the wa-wa soundtrack. | |
| Born Losers | 1967 | One Tin Soldier kicks biker butt. The original Billy Jack attack. | |
| Born to Ride | 1991 | Hot shot motorcyclist is enlisted by the Army to train their mounted troops before WWII. Entertaining albeit contrived, and are they *really* handshifting? | |
| Bury Me an Angel | 1971 | Girl takes off on brother's bike in search of his killer. Complicated story hindered by poor production and exaggerated supporting characters. Watchable nonetheless. | |
| C. C. and Company | "Chrome Hearts" | 1970 | Joe Namath makes a sandwich and battles the gang for Ann-Margaret. Better than some. |
| Chopper Chicks in Zombietown | 1989 | Biker babes kick zombie butt. The Troma Team's version of The Discovery Channel's "Motorcycle Women". | |
| Chrome and Hot Leather | 1971 | 4 Army sergeants buy Kawasakis to chase down a gang and find the biker who ran one of their girlfriends off the road killing her. Nothing new, but not bad. | |
| Chrome Soldiers | 1992 | Nam riding buddies reunite to clean up town after one of their group's brother is murdered. Watchable, but nothing new. | |
| Code 2 | 1953 | Hardtails and handshifts as a LAPD MC rookie goes after his friend's killer. Good fun in the old school. | |
| Cycle Savages | 1969 | Gang takes exception to artist sketching them in action. You'll be at the campfire quick if I screen this turd. | |
| Cycle Vixens | 1979 | 3 teenage girls take off on their Hondas from Colorado to California, encountering not the nicest people. Pretty lame. | |
| Cyclone | 1987 | Scientist who built a hi-tech battle cycle is killed, leaving his girlfriend to run from the bad guys who want to steal it. Nothing special action drama/T&A flick. | |
| Darktown Strutters | 1975 | Slapstick and sight gags with 4 soul sisters on VW trikes, Klansmen on two-strokes, kung foo fighters, dumb cops and vespa riding brothers. Worth a chuckle. | |
| Death Riders | "The Bandits" | 1994 | A more recent, more coherent version of the standard biker flick. Not that that's saying much. |
| Desert Heat | "Coyote Moon", "Inferno" | 1999 | Left for dead, our hero goes after the local lowlifes who shot him and stole his Indian. Exaggerated supporting characters, dialog, pyrotechnics & full-auto gunplay. |
| Dirt Gang, The | 1972 | Outlaws invade an on-location movie set and terrorize the production. The leader has a vendetta with one of the stuntmen he used to race against. Standard fare. | |
| Dragstrip Riot | 1958 | Troubled teen with a 'vette and a sought-after girlfriend gets hassled by the leather jacket guys, when one of the bikers is killed, will Mom and Gramps believe his story? OK juvenile delinquent fare. | |
| Easy Rider | 1969 | "I never really thought of myself as a freak, but I love to freak..." | |
| Easy Wheels | 1989 | Baby snatching female gang tangles with male gang. Not as funny as it tries to be, but not a total loss. | |
| ElectraGlide in Blue | 1973 | MC cop tries to figure out some mysteries. | |
| Eye Of the Tiger | 1986 | One man (ok, two) against the dirt bike riding motorcycle gang who are in cahoots with the sheriff and are terrorizing the local townsfolk . Yawn... | |
| Ghost Rider | 2007 | Comic book hero, CGI actioner. | |
| Girl on a Motorcycle | "Naked Under Leather", "La Motocyclette" | 1968 | Recently married, a young woman tires of her husband and, amid fantasies and flashbacks, takes off on her HD across the European countryside to be with her lover. |
| Girls From Thunder Strip, The | 1966 | Outlaw bikers on the lam with moonshining gals as hostage. More bikes than plot, and there's only about 3 minutes of bikes. | |
| Glory Stompers, The | 1968 | Bikers kick each other's butt. Nothing new. | |
| Hard Ride, The | 1970 | Marine returns from Nam, takes his KIA friend's knuck chop and girlfriend in search of old riding bros to attend the funeral. Not bad at all. | |
| Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man | 1991 | Title characters get more than they bargained for from an armored car robbery. Shoot-em-up action is more bang than bikes, but pleasant outing for the full-auto fan. | |
| Harley Davidson:The American Motorcycle | 1993 | "The Only Official Authorized Video". Adequate documentary of the HD story. | |
| Hell's Angels 69 | 1969 | Has an interesting plot, a plausible ending and the Angels can act better than some of the "stars". | |
| Hell's Angels on Wheels | 1967 | More interesting and coherent than most, but come on, he had time to pull Buddy out of the fire. | |
| Hell's Belles | "Girl in the Leather Suit" | 1969 | Chase across the desert after the leader of the gang steals a bike. The owner, saddled with the leader's ex-girlfriend, is determined to get it back. Enjoyable. |
| Hell's Chosen Few | 1968 | Sheriff offs boy who was boinking his daughter, sets up a 1%er who's brother joins gang to find the real killer. Poor, but has its moments. | |
| Hellcats, The | 1967 | Undercover couple hangs with bike gang trying to get the goods on their drug dealer. Inept. | |
| Hellriders | 1984 | Bikers and townspeople clash. Plotless but it's sense of humor makes it entertaining, lots of action even if it's the gang fighting among themselves. | |
| Hex | 1973 | WWI era bikers ride into Bingo Nebraska, rile up the local hot rodder, hole up on a farm with a couple of half-indian medicine women. Watchable, odd little film. | |
| History of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, The (Unofficial) | 1990 | A decent walk through from 1901 to 1990 with the requisite interviews of owners talking about the "lifestyle" and a brief cameo by Willie G. | |
| Hot Wax Zombies On Wheels | 1999 | 2 strangers ride into a sleepy coastal town determined to rid everyone of pesky body hair. Slapstick and doubletakes generate a few laughs, plenty of T&A, but there's precious little seen of bikes. | |
| Iron Horsemen | "Bad Trip" | 1995 | Finnish/French satire of 60's flicks garners a few chuckles. Prospect for the Cannibals MC runs afoul with the gang and is hunted down for dinner. |
| Ivy League Killers | 1962 | Rich guy loses his girl to the leader of a bike club, commits robbery to get him framed. Good job by Canadian filmmakers. | |
| J. C. | "Iron Horsemen" | 1972 | Son of a religious zealot returns to his Alabama hometown with his group of bikers, one black, and encounters racism and the inevitable showdown. Better than average with a predictable ending. |
| Jesus Trip,The | "Under Hot Leather" | 1971 | A nun kicks the habit and packs with a biker while the cops try to kick the gang's butt. Decent. |
| Key Witness | 1960 | Witness to a murder is terrorized by the gang after he agrees to testify. Not much seen of the Knuck after the crime, but a fair juvenile delinquent flick. | |
| Knightriders | George A. Romero's Knightriders, Knights |
1981 | Leader of a Renaissance Faire troupe of jousting motorcyclists strives to keep his kingdom together. Excellent change of pace. |
| Last Riders, The | Hermandad de la muerte (Mexico) | 1990 | Biker kills a crooked cop in drug deal, the cop's partner turns the gang against him. Slow moving actioner, about par for a B movie of it's decade. |
| Leather Boys, The | 1963 | Young British lad would rather hang with his mate and ride motorcycles than argue with his new bride. Interesting import. | |
| Little Fauss and Big Halsy | 1970 | Bike racing buddy film. | |
| Lone Hero | 2002 | Six-guns vs. full autos when a wild west show actor comes up against a gang of ruthless bikers. Decent action flick with the requisite explosions and snappy patter. | |
| Losers, The | "Nam's Angels" | 1968 | Patch holders riding Yamahas on a secret mission. Cong *and* GIs kick biker butt. |
| Loveless, The | 1982 | Dark and plodding, but ultimately interesting story of group of bikers who stop in a small town on their way to Daytona. | |
| Mask | 1985 | Disfigured, doomed lad comes of age among a group of bikers. | |
| Masters of Menace | 1990 | Sophomoric comedy has bikers and their lawyer chased by doofus cops. Cameos by some SNL alumni. Might elicit a chuckle from the easily amused. | |
| Me & Will | 1999 | Two LA gals meet in rehab, decide to ride their bikes together in a quest for the chopper from Easy Rider. Thoughtful but dark mix of sex, drugs and buddy films. | |
| Motorcycle Gang | 1957 | Dirt roads, Brit bikes and the girl trying to choose between the good and bad boy. Knowledgeable script and A+ effort for all involved in a movie that's IMHO as good as "The Wild One". | |
| Motorcycle Gang | 1999 | Dad has to become Rambo to save his daughter from the clutches of 4 smacked out bikers. Ho hum. | |
| Motorcycle Squad | "Double Cross" | 1941 | Misleading title, this is no "Code 2" or "Step On It", with very little seen of bikes. By itself it's your average cop infiltrating the gangsters oldie. |
| Naked Angels | 1969 | Gang goes across the desert in search of the group who put their leader in prison. Makes more sense than most, and the soundtrack is less irritating. | |
| Northville Cemetery Massacre | "Harley's Angels" | 1976 | Falsely accused bike gang is hunted down by the father of a raped girl and the bad cop who actually did the deed. Above average. |
| On Any Sunday | 1971 | Quintessential motorcycle documentary. | |
| One Way Ticket To Hell | "Teenage Devil Dolls" | 1956 | Chronicle of the downward spiral of a young girl, starting with her smoking marijuana with the high school bikers and ending with her addicted to heroin. |
| Outlaw Motorcycles | 1966 | 35 minute documentary short of the outlaw scene in the 60s, filmed during the Watts riots by Titus Moede. Interesting for historic value, but not well made. | |
| Outlaw Riders | 1971 | After some armed robberies, 2 guys and their gals cycle south of the border, tangle with some local bandito bikers. Not too shabby. | |
| Pace That Thrills, The | 1952 | Dirt track racing is the backdrop for a story of the top rider vs. the company engineer for the affections of the same girl. Lots of old bikes and some great riding in an otherwise predictable 50's flick. | |
| Peace Killers, The | "Peacekillers, The" | 1971 | Fed-up hippies kick biker butt. Groovy for what it is. |
| Pink Angels | 1971 | Why should I be surprised there was a gay exploitation biker movie? Aside from that, about par for the era; bad lighting, bad editing and basically clueless. | |
| Psychomania | "The Death Wheelers"; "The Frog"; "The Living Dead" | 1971 | British bikers come back from the dead to wreak havoc. Can the leader get his girl to join them, or will his occult savvy Mum and butler foil his plans? Interesting little horror tale. |
| Race For Glory | 1989 | Trial and tribulations of a crotch rocket racer, from his hometown to the Grand Prix. Interesting enough. | |
| Rebel Rousers | 1970 | Bikers terrorize a guy and his pregnant wife, but one of the gang remembers him from high school. More plot and character development than most and some faces you know. | |
| Ride With The Wind | Ride the Wind | 1994 | Down and out flat-track racer befriends a boy with cancer while in the hospital, develops a bond with him and his mother. Formula TV movie best watched with your wife rather than your drinking buddies. |
| Riding The Edge | 1989 | Scientist is kidnapped by terrorists and it's up to his dirt bike riding son to go to the middle east and rescue him. Implausible actioneer. | |
| Roadside Prophets | 1992 | Across the desert with a fatbob full of his friend's ashes to fulfill a last request. Offbeat and funny. | |
| Run Angel Run | 1969 | Biker rats on the gang to a magazine, takes the money and girlfriend on the run. A smattering of a plot makes this one watchable. Cool old bike in the barn... | |
| Running Cool | 1993 | "Roadhouse" on Harleys. Bikers save the wetlands by kicking the rich guy's butt. | |
| Satan Killer, The | "Death Penalty " | 1993 | Cop hunting a HD riding serial killer goes into high gear after his girlfriend becomes a victim. |
| Satan's Sadists | "Nightmare Bloodbath" | 1969 | Another ex-Marine kicks biker butt. Some reviews called this a masterpiece; I watched it twice to see if I missed something. Yawner. |
| Savage Abduction | "Cycle Psycho", "Numbered Days" | 1972 | Bikers agree to kidnap young girls for a psycho killer. Coherent enough to watch but no great shakes otherwise. |
| Savage Dawn | 1985 | Fancies itself a Mad Max, but it's just Sad Crap. Lance Henrikson and George Kennedy need work so bad they'll take roles kicking biker butt. | |
| Savage Seven, The | 1968 | Native Indians kick biker butt. | |
| Savages From Hell | "Big Enough and Old Enough" | 1968 | Florida farmers kick biker butt. |
| She-Devils on Wheels | 1968 | Cycle riding gals clash with hot rod guys. Pretty inept script and acting, but better ending than most... | |
| Smoke and Flesh | 1968 | 4 "bikers" (in a station wagon!?!) crash a love-in of sorts. At least the drugs arrived via a Honda, but there's no other bikes in sight. Mostly what the title suggests, and dull. | |
| Steal Wheels | 2000 | Bad sound, bad music, bad production, bad fights, just plain bad... | |
| Step On It | 1936 | Fun little oldie about an ex-motor patrolman who goes to work for a refinery owner who's trucks are getting hijacked. Some great stunts on those Indians. | |
| Stone | 1974 | Cop joins a MC whose members are being picked off after one witnesses an assassination. Australian film has an understandable cult following. | |
| Stone Cold | 1991 | Undercover cop joins biker gang to get the goods on them. Super hero antics, lame wisecracks, plenty of fist fights and gunplay in a standard actioner. | |
| Stranger, The | 1995 | Take a western about a town with a burnt out sheriff, put the bad guys who've taken over on motorcycles, add a bike riding, kickboxing gal with a vendetta. Mix it up and serve with beer. Mmmmmm... | |
| Sweet Justice | 2000 | Commando team of kickboxing gals wreak havoc on small town corruption after the crime boss has on of their sister's killed. The gals ride imports, there's no HDs that I saw. Average action flick. | |
| Takers, The | 1971 | Hooters and bush, 87 minutes of lukewarm porn and 3 minutes of bikes. 2 guys hold 2 girls hostage until hubby gets home. | |
| Teenage Gang Debs | 1966 | Biker's girl gets hip cats from Brooklyn to kick each other's butts. This like sucks, DaddyO. Mostly go-go dancing. | |
| Teenager | Real Thing, The | 1974 | Low budget producer brings cast and crew to a small town to make a biker movie, the locals are hostile and mayhem ensues. Not bad for its age. |
| Then Came Bronson | 1969 | Ignoring your nostalgia for the TV series, this is a simple love story about a guy and girl trying to find themselves while traveling on a Sportster he inherited from a friend who committed suicide. | |
| Tormentors, The | "Terminators" | 1971 | Cop infiltrates neo-Nazis. One rides an FLH (at the start and end), the rest look like Hondas. Boring and pointless. |
| Werewolves on Wheels | "Angel Warriors 2" | 1971 | Bike gang messes with druids and has to fight for their lives. Better than expected mix of the genres. |
| Wild Angels, The | "All the Fallen Angels" | 1966 | Often acknowledged as the start of the biker movie genre of the 60s-70s, entertaining. |
| Wild Hogs | 2007 | Disappointing "comedy" for the most part. Funniest part was the credits. | |
| Wild One, The | "The Cyclists Raid" | 1954 | Relive Hollywood's version of the Hollister run. Historic for the AMA panic it caused, but a simple story. Nostalgia kicks butt. |
| Wild Rebels | 1967 | Race car driver is a snitch and gets involved with evil robber bikers, serenades the leader's "chick". Could be worse. | |
| Wild Riders | "Angels for Kicks" | 1971 | Two bikers invite themselves to a house party with its 2 women occupants, cause mayhem until the husband gets home. Slow, but beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. |
| Wild Wheels | 1969 | Bikers and dune buggy guys clash, girls don't know which side to choose, unknown R&R bands perform. Lame. |
