the Mini-Skirt Mob


"They ride hard...no matter what they're mounted on!"

This was slightly unusual for a biker genre film. It's from 1968 so it's right in the midst of the genre, but it stands out from the pack due to the sinister jilted lover played by Diane McBain. She's actually a cut above the normal bottom of the barrel acting we're used to from films of this ilk. But of course she isn't backed up by anyone with any real acting capabilities either, so the film is still filled with poorly delivered lines from a script that a teenage boy could have written in between classes in high school. As you well know, that's a winning combination. Crap dialog, shit acting, motorcycles, and hot chicks in mini-skirts. It's all good, brothers and sisters. It's all good.

Most of the characters, nay, all of the characters in this film are morons. Biker films of this vintage aren't generally filled with Nobel laureates and rocket scientists, but still, even for biker films these guys seemed dumber than dumb. Single digit IQs all around. Maybe it's cuz most of them were rodeo bikers (an odd concept, I know). I felt like I was watching "George Dubya: The Early Years" or something like that. I gotta say, I prefer my bikers to be bikers...not redneck rodeo douches. But that was one of the film's unique angles, I guess. Some of the actors went on to do a lot of movies you'd recognize, actually. And some of them are biker genre regulars.

It had all the hallmarks you want from a biker flick like the obligatory 60's love-in scenes in the dessert, and great chase sequences. There were some hilarious lines delivered in this movie. Sometimes accidentally and sometimes not. But we were rollin' quite a lot. I'll tell you what though, they got some hot chicks for this flick with knock-out bodies! Holy smokes, a couple of these broads had incredible bodies by anyone's standards. I was really digging on Sherry Jackson (Connie) and Patty McCormack (Edie). They knew how to cast for legs that looked great in mini-skirts, that's for sure. Mmm mmm.

Oh yeah, the plot: Arizona rodeo champ leaves his biker gang and crazy-ass (but hot) biker chick to marry a "normal" chick who works at a bank. Said chick is hotter than his ex and nowhere near as crazy. She also seems to be a bit of a nympho. So he trades up. Good for him. However, the ex is scorned and vows to exact revenge to sooth her broken heart. She'll either get her rodeo biker back, or she'll kill them in the process! She manipulates all the goons in the gang to terrorize the rodeo star and do her evil bidding. Death and calamity ensue.

It's a good flick. I mean, it's shit. But it's worth watching if you're into hot 60's biker babes and Bonnevilles. And who isn't?

Nice shorts, bro. He's a bit of a pussy to be honest. Like a third-rate Steve McQueen. But he got a lot of ass.
