    Outlaw Motorcyclists on Dirt Bikes

    This film begins with four motorcyclists riding upon a gas station along the side of a rural highway. Noticing only one attendant there they subsequently rob the cash register and kill the man for no real reason. Satisfied with their loot three of the motorcyclists drive off while the fourth stays behind to grab some tools in the adjoining garage. It's then that a lone police officer appears and noticing the dead body in a nearby alley he cautiously enters the garage only to be ambushed by the motorcyclist. Although badly injured he manages to shoot and kill his assailant and then radios for assistance. Not long afterward another police officer spots the three bikers and gives chase--only to be killed in the process. Not overly concerned, the bikers soon rejoin the main group where the decision is made to avoid capture by escaping to Mexico. Upon the way, however, they notice a film company shooting a movie in an out-of-the-way location and decide to help themselves to everything there. While there the leader of the motorcyclists named "Monk" (Paul Carr) happens to see an old nemesis by the name of "Zeno" (Michael Forest) who he has been desperately searching for in order to settle an old score. But what he doesn't realize is just how resourceful Zeno can be. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay "biker film" which featured dirt bikes instead of the standard "hogs" typically associated with outlaw biker gangs. That said, although this particular feature might engender some disdain from certain viewers it does, however, allow for a certain flexibility on the plot as a whole. In any case, while certainly not the best film of this sort, I found it worth the time spent to watch it and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

    I agree

    This had to be the WORST lowlife biker film of ALL TIME! I love it!!!! I saw it one night on Speed Channel (the Speedvision). Some midnight show I think. All I remember is that is was a bunch of outlaw bikers on motocross bikes...MOTOCROSS BIKES!!!! I mean what kind of outlaw biker rides a Husqvarna? I also recall that it was very graphic sexually, which makes it even cheezier. These guys pitched a tent in the desert and raped women, I think?

    This may be the singular worst film ever made. That is why is must be released ASAP. Please release this on DVD so I can have a bad movie night party!

    Who says all bad bikers ride choppers?

    I agree that this flick barely warrants removing it from the reel canister, but nowadays we have videotape and DVDs. I picked this one up to add to my collection of "biker" films and it fits the bill. The main focus of the movie is motorcycle riding rebels who just want to tear up the town (or in this case, movie set). The interesting thing is that they aren't riding the typical choppers and wearing cut-off denim jackets. No, it's dirt bikes, helmets and leather pants for these guys. Typical plot, typical amateur acting and typical 70's cinematography. But, a film that biker film addicts will enjoy. Watch for the two character actors you have seen a hundred times before.

    oh really... come on.

    This movie tells the story about a motorcycle gang who terrorizes a filmcrew. They take the crew hostage and perform various disgusting things with them.

    If you're very interested in the old Hells Angels (pre 60's) and think that smelling bad, looking bad, drinking and driving at the same time is cool then this film is most certainly for you. If not, then you just might as well pass this one by as most other people thankfully will.

    I think the average grade that this movie(1.0 at this time) has reflects well how good this movie is.

    What a Website!

    I saw this piece of junk at a drive-in (now storage sheds) back when I was 14 years old. I had to hide in the back floorboard of my brother's car. Anyhow, what a great website IMDB is to not only LIST this movie, but to actually have user votes and comments! I mean not more than 500 people could have even WATCHED this horrible thing, ferpetessake.

    Thanks, guys, and keep up the good work!
