Powerful

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

So I kept waiting for Sonny to do a 69 with any of the other bearded gays as the name says. They were gay. They were hanging around. And that is about it. An action movie that is slow. Lost minutes with the bearded gang going around. The most expensive part of the movie. And probably the reason of its sales as biker porn. The acting is almost as bad as an Eastern European action movie. The stunts are about the same, but that was probably a way to calm down the extras. And the story? There is no story. Only cardboard silhouettes moving around, stock characters with no past or future. Sure, when you have read at least one biography about Sony and his merry gang you can fill in the blanks and make it look like a story. In the end this is the visual support for a child's doll play. The bikes go vroooom! And there is a strange girl to trick the censors into not label this gay propaganda.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Two wealthy bothers--Chuck (Tom Stern) and Wes (Jeremy Slate)--want to rob Caesar's Palace just for kicks. They join the Hells Angels and use them as a diversion while they rob Caesars. The Hells Angels figure it out pretty quick. They don't like being used and go out for revenge.The story is pretty stupid. Seriously--robbing Caesar's Palace for no good reason AND join the Hells Angels to do it??? To make it worse Stern and Slate are pretty terrible actors--VERY wooden. They also wrote the script. It IS kind of fun to figure out what's worse--their acting or writing. (It's pretty much a draw) They also used real Hells Angels in the cast and they're even worse actors than Stern and Slate (which is saying a lot). Also most of the lousy dialogue seems to be post-dubbed; there's endless shots of the Angels riding around; there's a hysterically bad and obviously staged fight between Stern and Slate and this is just pretty boring all around! This gets two stars for some nice shots and a very good performance by Conny Van Dyke as Betsy--but it can't save this. A sleep-inducing mess. Skip it.

I was brought out to the Mojave desert, with my brother and sister, and our mom driving.We were going to watch our father act in a movie he had written with his then pal Tom Stern. I was 13 years old and I will never forget that weekend. (nor will my mother!)The scene of the club house fight was totally spontaneous. The cameras were still getting in position and the director was blaring over the megaphone telling everyone to stay in place until he yelled "action".And all of a sudden you could hear some loud swear words and a lady started yelling and before you could say action the fight began (for real). They just turned the cameras on and got as much footage as they could! I also thought it was funny watching the REAL HELLS ANGELS ride through the desert on tiny Japanese dirt bikes in the final chase scene!My dad is Jeremy Slate, and just passed away Nov. 18th. I will miss the life he was so full of.He found a place to fit in five decades of Hollywood. He did get into the b-biker films(were any of them A?)(OK....Easy Rider),check out "Born Losers",(the first Billie Jack Movie). He played many a bad man in hundreds of westerns,(True Grit..he cuts off Denise Hoppers fingers..yeah!) He played the suave second fiddle to Frankie Avolon(I'll take Sweden) and Elvis Pressly(Girls,Girls,Girls!).Anyway I give the movie a "10". My Dad wrote it and starred in it.What did you think I'd give it? Rest in peace dad, jer

The Orson Wells of Motorcycle films, Tom Stern, turns in one of his best performances. For nothing more than a "B" film, this turns into a highly enjoyable robbery heist flick in the nature of Ocean's 11.Stern teams up with his buddy Jerome Slate to play spoiled,bratty, millionaire brothers who decide to rob a Vegas hotel while posing as members of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. The story plot is surprisingly good and the acting and action scenes are very well done.The Vegas of 1969 is captured, and boy has it changed! Hell's Angel leader Ralph "Sonny" Barger steals the show simply by playing himself. Overall an impressive effort by Tom Stern.
