HELLS ANGELS ON WHEELS (1967)

RICHARD RUSH

Plot

A typically 1960s film attempting to match classics like "Easy Rider". The story is of a ruthless gang of Angels who terrorise an innnocent rural community. The camera thunders in and out of the pack on dusty roads, barroom fights boast bottles and chains, and Nicholson's nervousness looks real. The whole project, with its violence and love interest (Nicholson fighting for the leader's 'momma'), is schizophrenic, cutting from psychedelia and group sex to private angst and night-time stompings. 'It is better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.'
