(1968, Color, Exploitation, Bikers, Sixties, Ross Hagan)
"Leather on the Outside... All Woman on the Inside!" "The Cycle-Gang Girls... Scratching... Clawing any Guy Who Gets In Their Way!" Ross Hagan plays the brother of a cop killed by a biker gang. He and the cop's girlfriend go undercover in the gang to bring him to justice. The producer on this was Anthony Cardoza, who should be familiar to us as the producer of the three Coleman Francis movies. (Red Zone Cuba, The Skydivers and Beast of Yucca Flats) As Servo reminds us, Tony Houston also wrote The Sidehackers, and Gus Trikonis, playing Scorpio in this, directed that movie. YouTube (YT 1h37m - no embed) First aired December 8, 1990.

Sleezy filthy beer-soaked drug parties are this movie's rock climbing, but once it stops the movie gets much harder to stay awake through.

At least monster a go-go had something to say, artistically.

Yeah, I nodded off at the end there - this is one of those movies that is so bad that it can't even be saved by the MST3K treatment. It's plodding and incoherent, but missing that elusive element that can push a bad movie past "just plain unwatchable" into "sublimely terrible art" territory.

I paid the five bucks and secured us a permanent (for a year anyway) room to watch MST3K and other things in. It's at:

Today's (Thursday's) show, I'm thinking 7 and 9 PM ET. That way, West Coast viewers can join us at a reasonable after-work hour. How does that sound?
