Instead of forcing us to watch a brand new biker flick each time, I've decided to start sprinting in some of the classics that we started watching 4 years ago. Not everyone has seen the likes of Satan's Sadists, Glory Stompers, Devil's Angels, etc. So the first one I brought back was the archetypical Wild Angels.
It stars Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra. It's THE textbook biker flick from the 60's. Swastikas, love-ins, rape, mammas, old ladies, AMAZING choppers, causing trouble in a small west coast town, disdain for "the man," racism, and plenty of beer soaked revelry. It checks every box. Oh yeah, including the "very thin excuse for a plot" check box. The Prez is too cool for school. He's even too cool for his gang. It's awesome.
We don't need to go into much detail on this movie. There's nothing of any real artistic merit to critique. It's simply one of the immortal 60's biker flicks, so that's why it was the first for us to revisit.
Good times.
