Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Masterpiece!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

You know, those exploitation and drive-in flicks from the early seventies. Well, this is sure one that fits on top. As so many bikers are involved but this goes one step further. It contains a lot of nudity and a lot of sex scenes.There isn't that much to tell about this flick, it was the first flick by Carl Monson here stated as Carlos Monsoya and it really has some bad filming. Shaky camera's not intended and wrong use of temperature. All the actors in it did appear only once in the film industry except Dennis Troy who went further to appear a few times in M.A.S.H. The way this flick was filmed especially the first sex scene was I guess done under the use of LSD, it's filmed with a kaleidoscopic effect and the voices are overdubbed. Once the two bikers go for a rape in a house you will have a sex scene that will take forever with some psychedelic music over it. So story wise there is nothing to tell, it's all about the nudity here in this flick. The two bikers are walking around naked a few times and yes you do see their balls but it never becomes pornographic. The editing is something weird to with flashbacks and flash forwards of raping girls. Weird weird weird. It's available on a DVD somewhere but I've got the very obscure Dutch VHS in perfect condition on the VML label. It's not for everybody but people who dig exploitation and sleaze than I would recommend it. And if I say Harry Novak was involved then you know what you will get.But the most important reason to see it is the end, talking about a big joke...Gore 0/5 Nudity 4/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

Two sleazy bikers/criminals/alpha males Will and EJ have tons of sex with two incredibly dumb 70's girls,rob a gas station and finally invade the home of Laura, who along with her gal-pal Barbara have to put up with their shenanigans.The party involves rape,verbal abuse,drugs and booze.Suddenly Laura's husband appears..."The Takes" quickly becomes absolute sleaze with enough gratuitous sex bordering on hardcore to satisfy any self-respecting smut peddler.However I genuinely enjoyed the climax of the film as it was so unexpected and surprising.On the same time it was strikingly awful too!Overall,"The Takes" is a must-see for fans of 70s US exploitation trash.7 sleazy bikers out of 10.

Another smutty blend of insanity from Harry Novak and directed by Carl Monson (under the alias Carlos Monsoya!). This is a blend of biker and skin that has all the elements you would expect from the talents of Monson and Novak. E.J and Will are the lead Bikers, two scum-bags who mean to do what they want and when they want it, whose penchant for L.S.D, Sex and Shooting is only matched by their thirst for more degenerate and inspired acts of violence. They break into houses and accost the lady's inside at this point Will has the "I've been" line thrown at him, which does not go down well. From here on in the action gets even more off kilter, I won't go on to ruin a good tale just see this classic for yourself. Imagine seeing this one in the cinema at the time, I would have loved to see the audience reaction.
