If you're into homoerotic bikers and do-wop then boy do I have a film for you!
I came across Kenneth Anger's 1963 short film, Scorpio Rising, when I was researching biker flicks. Wikipedia mentioned that Nazis rioted upon its release, it had the occult in it, and lots of bikes. What's not to love? James Dean and Marlon Brando? I'm in.
It's a half hour. No dialogue. Just 50's pop. It features loads of bikers. Gay ones. Jesus. And Hitler. It's crap. All the Harleys and Triumphs in it couldn't save it from being shit.
I wanna watch his other flick, Lucifer Rising, based on the title alone. But god knows what that'll be like judging by this one. I'll skip it for now. And you should skip this.
