Admirable film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Two brothers have a plan on how to rob the Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas. They join a motorcycle gang and while the others are drinking and partying outside of town, they change their clothes and head off to rob the casino.Of course, the police do not look for two well dressed criminals among the Hell's Angels.Not a fan of this genre, but this is actually a good little movie with real Hell's Angels.Interesting to take a look back at Las Vegas in the 60s too.

Two wealthy bothers--Chuck (Tom Stern) and Wes (Jeremy Slate)--want to rob Caesar's Palace just for kicks. They join the Hells Angels and use them as a diversion while they rob Caesars. The Hells Angels figure it out pretty quick. They don't like being used and go out for revenge.The story is pretty stupid. Seriously--robbing Caesar's Palace for no good reason AND join the Hells Angels to do it??? To make it worse Stern and Slate are pretty terrible actors--VERY wooden. They also wrote the script. It IS kind of fun to figure out what's worse--their acting or writing. (It's pretty much a draw) They also used real Hells Angels in the cast and they're even worse actors than Stern and Slate (which is saying a lot). Also most of the lousy dialogue seems to be post-dubbed; there's endless shots of the Angels riding around; there's a hysterically bad and obviously staged fight between Stern and Slate and this is just pretty boring all around! This gets two stars for some nice shots and a very good performance by Conny Van Dyke as Betsy--but it can't save this. A sleep-inducing mess. Skip it.

I was brought out to the Mojave desert, with my brother and sister, and our mom driving.We were going to watch our father act in a movie he had written with his then pal Tom Stern. I was 13 years old and I will never forget that weekend. (nor will my mother!)The scene of the club house fight was totally spontaneous. The cameras were still getting in position and the director was blaring over the megaphone telling everyone to stay in place until he yelled "action".And all of a sudden you could hear some loud swear words and a lady started yelling and before you could say action the fight began (for real). They just turned the cameras on and got as much footage as they could! I also thought it was funny watching the REAL HELLS ANGELS ride through the desert on tiny Japanese dirt bikes in the final chase scene!My dad is Jeremy Slate, and just passed away Nov. 18th. I will miss the life he was so full of.He found a place to fit in five decades of Hollywood. He did get into the b-biker films(were any of them A?)(OK....Easy Rider),check out "Born Losers",(the first Billie Jack Movie). He played many a bad man in hundreds of westerns,(True Grit..he cuts off Denise Hoppers fingers..yeah!) He played the suave second fiddle to Frankie Avolon(I'll take Sweden) and Elvis Pressly(Girls,Girls,Girls!).Anyway I give the movie a "10". My Dad wrote it and starred in it.What did you think I'd give it? Rest in peace dad, jer

This movie is about two dudes that most likely hung out with real Hell's Angels after they became popular and sold-out in the late 60's and came up with a "perfect heist" type movie using the Angels as props for their caper.Unfortunately for their characters, the Hell's Angels are a force of nature, similar to fire, and you can't play with them without eventually getting burned.And unfortunately for you, I really can't tell much more about the movie without giving everything away. I'm not sure if the plot and character development was intended to develop over the course of the movie, or if they just made it up as they went along; but that was the main thing that made it interesting, so I'm not really able to tell you anything more without ruining it.Oh, but the best part about the movie: they used real Hell's Angels to play the Hell's Angels. They even use their real names. And if you think that the REAL Oakland Angel's were going to be in a movie in which they end up the suckers, you've got another think coming. As I said, the Hell's Angels are a force of nature and are not to be trifled with. Just give them their due, and pray they let you walk away.
