Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Steineded How sad is this?
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
internationaldave I say "One of the Best" because I collect "Cheap Biker Movies" and this IS one of the best. The cheaper (as in low budget, minimal plot, horrible acting, etc.) the better. I realize most accidents in the home happen in the bathroom,so take note of the medicine cabinet scene in the diner's restroom. Did you know you can DIE if someone opens a medicine cabinet door in your face? It was a very graphic and horrible scene (notice any tongue-in-cheek, here?) I felt sorry for the Bro who died a terrible and bloody death. Also, these "Bros" can really handle a "Hog" off road. Realistic? Wow! Honestly, this movie keeps me on the edge of my seat every time I break it out and watch it. I have to be on the edge of my seat 'cause my head is in a bucket! Highly recommended movie to watch if you love the best of the worst.
Scott_Mercer ** ACH, CAPTAIN, DA SPOILERS!! ** In spite of what another comment advised, I do prefer Adamson's cheesy horror pics to his action films. There's more fun stuff to look at.However, as a biker film fan, I had to check out this joint. Not much really happens in this film, plotwise. It's pretty much bikers come to town, bikers menace and kill nice people, and everyone battles to the death until the only ones left standing are our hero and heroine, walking into the sunset.This was all filmed in the desert around Palm Springs (Adamson's home until his untimely passing), and frankly, the scenery is very boring and hard to look at. A good bulk of the early film takes place in a lonely roadside cafe. That setting at least gives the bad guys a semi-interesting location and some chance to pick up objects and hit people with them.The last half of the movie involves our hero (ex-Marine from Vietnam)and heroine (plucky local waitress who wants a husband) running around these barren rocky desert canyons that all look the same, ducking into caves trying to avoid "Anchor" the head psycho biker (Russ Tamblyn) and his murderous cohorts. (Isn't this the same place where EEGAH lived?) About the only interesting twist is Regina Carrol's "Thelma and Louise" impression.I guess you could look at this as some sort of allegory for the nation and its torments during the heinous late 1960's, bla, bla, bla, but I don't think so. It's just an excuse for good old action and violence. But how is the action and violence? Good enough. If you're just looking for a sick twisted wild ride into sociopathic torment, this film will satisfy. But it's no lost classic or anything. It's not even the best biker film.
emm SATAN'S SADISTS has to come down in history as THE Al Adamson masterpiece. It also comes down as more of the same. With the dialogue so bland, it speaks for some stronger profanity coming out of its mouth. Take my word and forget this thing if you hate all the crappy biker movies of the past thirty years. But it has a story, and a fair reference to the Greydon "Acid" Clark 80s film SKINHEADS. By the way, Clark did act before serving time as a successful director of drive-in filmfare including SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS, THE HI-RIDERS, and JOYSTICKS. Die-hard biker film loonies will enjoy it. The rest of you, hit the road!
freakus Adamson has made a movie that defines exploitation. It is the achetype of the biker flick...these guys are no "Dennis Hopper Hippie" types, there are mean rotten nasty sons-of-bitches. Seeing Russ Tamblin as a cold hearted killer is worth the price of admission alone! Judged in its own genre (the no-budget drive in flick) this movie is absolutely one of the best. And one of the greatest soundtracks I have heard. The theme song is GREAT "from the tiiiiime...I was Booorn, I was killin'....killin' for Satan...oh yeah...."
