Hell's Angels On Wheels
A bunch of hairy guys on Harleys are causing trouble again in this, one of the best-remembered examples of the biker flicks of the 1960's. Poet (Jack Nicholson) is a moody gas station attendant who is looking for more excitement in his life. When a gang of bikers roars through town, Poet is intrigued, and after he pitches in to help the Hell's Angels in a bar fight (and pulls a well-timed stick up), one of the gang's higher-ups, Buddy (Adam Roarke) asks Poet to join. Soon Poet is riding with the Angels and living their lifestyle of violent debauchery, but Poet begins to tire of their rootless decadence, and Buddy is none too happy with Poet when he learns they're both in love with the same woman. Hell's Angels On Wheels won a cult following for its agressive but languid atmosphere and the fluid camerawork of cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs (at this point still billed as Leslie Kovacs). Richard Rush directed, and legendary Hell's Angels leader Sonny Barger appears as himself.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Cheap biker movie, lacking plot and maintaining momentum with fights and parties; it employs actual Hells Angels but still achieves an ersatz feeling, perhaps because they cannot act, and Nicholson looks too old for his role as an inexperienced new recrui

I'm in love, yeah, I'm a believer..
This is a film for Hell's Angels fans, and one of the few given endorsement by Sonny Barger the founder of the Hell's Angels movement. It presents a ... read more »

I might add another star for curiosity value
This is, quite honestly, an appalling film. The script is thin, the acting bad, the plot disjointed and the ending somewhat abrupt. And not as profound as the ... read more »
