HELL RIDERS (1984)



 Hard to believe that way past the era when they made all the classic biker movies(60s & 70s) there's still an amusing entry like this one to be discovered. I just found out about this title recently and it's quickly become my new favorite biker flick(or at least my favorite biker movie that I've watched recently). Adam "BATMAN" West and Tina "Ginger from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND" Louise are the two big names that show up in this. Tina gets harassed by our titular biker scumbags and Mr. Batman does some butt-kicking as the small-town doctor(whose super-power seems to be knowing how bones work?).  This thing is chock full of absurd but highly entertaining moments of various biker shenanigans. One of my favorite scenes has two idiots trying to outdo each other and show who is the tougher guy by inflicting bodily-harm upon themselves. It ends with a ridiculous self-inflicted knife to the leg. It all plays sort of like an American version of INTREPIDOS PUNKS so if you dig dumb bikers who seem to live only to rumble amongst everyone(even each other!) then check this one out.
 Not to be confused with that similarly-titled pile of crap HELL RIDE.

             The whole beautiful film, complete with bizarre repetitive soundtrack!:




Retitled in Germany as HELLS ANGELS though the gang clearly have jackets on that read HELL RIDERS:



Cannon VHS goodness!:
