the Peacekillers

The Flying Skülls watched this last night. Holy shit, this was GNARLY for 1971.

We've seen millions of 60's/70s biker flicks and this was by far the most graphic. You're watching it, thinking it's all par for the course and then you're hit with a sketchy gang-rape scene. Then someone might get tortured or shot in the face. There's more than one "fuck" or "motherfucker" dropped in this flick. A militaristic black chick with an righteous afro even calls the bikers "faggots." Most shocking of all, is how the bikers psychologically taunt an ex-momma by describing the impending gang-rape. For 1971, this is pretty hardcore. 

Not that any of the shit mentioned above makes the Peacekillers any good or anything, but it's worth noting.

Graphic nature aside, it's right in line with all the other genre flicks. Quarreling biker gangs, small town America, scorned lover, acid, weed, cheap beer, orgies, mommas, old ladies, choppers, a hippie commune, the man, crap music, questionable acting, you know the recipe. 

There's a hippie commune where they just sit around naked and get high / fuck / tend the community garden all day. Biker gang follows a hot momma to the commune so they can gang-rape her as revenge for leaving the biker gag. enter a rival minority biker gang (black chick, two black dudes, asian chick, and a token white guy). She's caught, escapes, caught, escapes, they fight, there's a pitchfork, there's a gun, shit happens. There's lots of bike riding.

The blood is awesome. Evidently back in the 70's people used to bleed Sherwin Williams paint. 

Best thing about this flick is Black Widow and her gang, the Branded Banshees (aforementioned minority gang). She's straight out of a Tarantino flick. Crazy ass chick. 

You can stream this on Netflix or watch the whole thing on YouTube (linked above). 

Oh, almost forgot to mention the cans. Finally, we see some great cans in a biker flick! I doff my cap. Thank you, Peacekillers. 

Lesser movies would have used a mannequin. Today it would be CGI. The Peacekillers is hardcore.

That guy is smooooov. He sits around preaching shit like Jesus, but he's got a harem of naked 70's nymphos ready to bang right after the sermon.

Not the first time we've seen a pitchfork used in a biker flick. Probably not the last.
