Tough rancher and motorcycle racer Dan (a sturdy portrayal by Jeremy Slate) goes after a biker gang led by the vicious Tampa (Adam Roarke in fine antagonistic form) when said gang steal his beloved chopper. Complications ensue when Dan winds up being saddled with brash motorcycle mama Cathy (sharply played by the ravishing Jocelyn Lane).
Director Maury Dexter keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story moving along at a steady pace, makes neat use of the dusty'n'desolate desert locations, and stages the rough'n'ready fights with aplomb. The smart script by James Gordon White and R.G. McMullen draws the characters with some depth, provides a plot that plays out like a revamped Western with motorcycles substituting for horses, and even offers an interesting subtext on the toxicity of male obsession gone amuck. Angelique Pettyjohn adds plenty of spark and sexiness as sassy biker babe Cherry while William Lucking amuses as hulking dolt Gippo. Les Baxter's funky-grinding score hits the right-on groovy spot. A worthwhile drive-in flick.
