Easy Wheels

I saw that Eileen Davidson from 'The Young & The Restless' was starring in this movie & I got excited b/c Ashley Abbott is one of my favorite characters from the y/r. This movie put me to sleep several times before I could finish watching it. I will not be fooled again. Glad Eileen didn't make a sequel.

The reviews decrying this film seem to have genuinely missed the fact that it's a comedy. Sure, all of it is deadpan but really, a biker gang who do a great doo-wop Rock Of Ages? A guy whose mudwrestler girlfriend gets into laundromat machines after work? It's a comedy, folks.

The reviewers complaining of the lack of action scenes or soft porn might as well level the same criticisms at Airplane. Indeed, Airplane's a good point of reference with the straight-faced humour, visual gags and touches of surrealism.

It plays on many 'good guys seeking out the evil-doers' clichés, and simultaneously on fated-lovers clichés too. The funniest stuff is in the way it plays with gender role and 'wrong side of the tracks' stereotypes.

The great and eminently quotable cheesy dialogue and the constant overloud leather-creak whenever anyone moves keep it relentlessly funny from start to finish.

If you like the comic edge of Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's work in The Evil Dead you'll love this film. If, however, you thought Evil Dead was a straight zombie flick then you'll probably miss the point with this too.

The baby stealing plot is really just a ruse for a movie about an all female motorcycle gang. The black leather clad ladies are all thin, attractive, and of average height. Certainly, capable of beating up an equal number of bigger, heavier men, including a bike joust. The ladies do have an edge, an endless supply of can bombs, with pull strings. So far, so good. I actually seek out this type of stuff. However, the movie is rather boring through out. The low budget compromised the highly edited (fake) action scenes. It should be noted, and not as a negative, that the movie is very tame as the women remain fully clothed, the violence is of a cartoon nature and the language is acceptable. I am suspicious of the honesty of the number of high votes for this film. Maybe they are just desperate for a biker chick movie and will like anything. I can accept that, but please watch the not boring Chopper Chicks in Zombietown instead.

Easy Wheels is one of those great independent low-budget films. The movie is nararated from the point of view of a reporter who is rescued by the bikers from a car accident. The leader of the Bourne Losers Bruce (Paul Le Mat) and his buddies are looking for another group of bikers known as the The Woman of the Wolves who are being suspected of stealing babies and selling them on the black market. This movie I laughed throughout. Some younger viewers may not get all the jokes, but I think most adults will get the jokes. I recommend this movie to people who drive and/or like biker movies. I also recommend this film to people who like to laugh a lot.

10/10

I love B movies just as much as the next guy but this movie is awful. It says it's a comedy / action movie but the comedy is a huge stretch! Nothing's worse than an a movie that thinks it's funny! Trust me, it's not! The acting is atrocious, the writing is amateurish. I wish I can get back the hour and a half of my life back that I wasted on this film. Please, don't fall for this movies lies!!
