This movie starts out being a biker flick but then turns more into a hostage movies kinda situation. It also starts right out, even before the title, with a woman getting stripped and murdered by a couple of bikers so that's something. Great character actor Alex Rocco plays the extra-nutty homicidal sidekick of our main character(Arell Blanton) who is also not much of a saint. If there's one big drawback to me with this film it's that I didn't find the main character all that interesting and when he gets kicked out of the gang I kinda wanted to go with the other members and see what crazy shit they get up to. The other downfall is that after it becomes a kidnap/rape movie with a couple of gals it seems like these ladies have little to no ability to fight back against their attackers. I know this was made way back in 1971 but I can't imagine women were as helpless and defenseless as they're portrayed here. Maybe if it was made in 1951 I would understand but not the 70's. It all does end up with an amazing climax which includes some unexpected eye violence and bloody gore! I would probably rate this as slightly better than average even though it's barely a biker movie. AKA ANGELS FOR KICKS
