Genres & Description

Action Drama Thriller

5.7 / 10

Peter Fonda plays 'Heavenly Blues', the leader of the Angels, a motorcycle gang from San Pedro, California; Bruce Dern plays 'Loser', his best pal. When they both botch their attempt to retrieve Loser's stolen bike, Loser ends up in the hospital. When the Angels bust him out, he dies, and they bury him. Nancy Sinatra plays Mike, Blues' "old lady" and Diane Ladd plays Loser's wife (Dern's real-life wife at the time). The plot is basically a buildup to the last half-hour of the film in which Loser's funeral becomes another wild party.

drive-in movie swill at its best. I dig Michael J. Pollard in the scene where he's eating chicken while sitting on his machine (great bike). Replete with bongos and dancing chicks. It doesn't get any better if you dig 1960s-era bike movies. Thanks, Roger Corman. - @Thursday, February 28, 2013 9:21 PM

hot, sexy women in various forms of undress + killer Harleys = one timeless movie. I think the only reason Hollywood hasn't made a useless rehash of this classic is because they can't. Thank goodness. - @Saturday, October 29, 2011 2:01 PM
