ANGELS HARD AS THEY COME (1971)



 Gary Busey is in this 70s biker flick but he's not the star despite what some of the VHS or DVD covers promise. He's not even a biker just a peace-lovin hippie. Jonathan Demme, who went on to direct SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and a bunch of other Hollywood crap, wrote the screenplay here. So there's a couple of famous links here.
 The film itself takes a little while to get going but if you stick around long enough a plot actually does pop up. It's basically the story of a clash between 2 biker gangs, The Angels(no, not The Hells Angels just The Angels) and The Dragons(who are sadly not all bad-ass Asian karate killers). There's also a group of pacifist hippies that are unwittingly in the middle of all this violence. Things get rapey, revenge gets dealt out and acid gets dropped. Good but middle-of-the-road, kinda-sleazy biker action flick. AKA ANGELS, HELL ON HARLEYS. Released on video as ROLLING THUNDER which I imagine may have led to confusion with this better movie.
