  • 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 very rose tinted view, but its an opportunity to buy into the fantasy and a rare taste of the (largely mythical) freedom that us Thatcher's children have only heard about from our parents.

    Fist fights, free love, cool bikes, cheap drugs and booze and being at one with your mates and against the world. Ok, its form over substance, but its a great vibe..man.

    So bad it's good!

    This film has dated so badly! Sonny Barger, the founder of the Hell's Angels was liased with in the making of this film but was understandably disappointed with the outcome. In fact I only watched this to see what he was complaining about after reading his superb autobiography. There isn't much of a plot line and the fight scenes are straight out of Batman! The whole thing is a tad cheesey and only worth watching for a laugh with some mates and a few beers
