Hell Ride


How is it humanly possible that I haven't posted about Hell Ride before? I don't see it in my prior posts???...

Hell Ride is a film from about ten years ago. Larry Bishop acted in quite a few classic era biker flicks, and now he's responsible for this modern take on the genre. I think he pretty much did everything on this. Wrote, directed, and starred, if I'm not mistaken.

Hell Ride had Quentin Tarantino's backing and included Tarantino favorite, Michael Madsen. Not to mention small parts by Vinnie Jones, David Carradine and Dennis Hopper. So its not slouch in pedigree.

While you'd never mistake this for a Tarantino film (obv cuz of the dialogue), it's still certainly a kindred spirit. It's a grindhouse movie for the 2000's. It's fun. It's over the top.

Larry Bishop wanted to do a classic era biker flick for modern audiences. This meant he could get away with a lot more sexuality than the old classics. And Larry does a fantastic job in this department. The women throughout the film are drop dead gorgeous and full of variety. And the bikes are pretty fucking rad, too.

I think Larry Bishop really achieved what he set out to do. His vision was well executed. Top notch stuff (if sexually charged B-movie biker flicks are your thing).

There are Indians, Triumphs and Harleys in Hell Ride. Oh, and there are beautiful women, too. Almost forgot.
